Using the example of forced labor in the Uyghur region of China, which has been connected to the supply chains of numerous German companies, it emphasizes that human rights due diligence carried out by companies operating in or sourcing from this region must take into account the specific political, legal and cultural context in which these human rights violations are occurring. Considering the context in which state-imposed forced labor is carried out, there are no due diligence measures through which companies can effectively identify or prevent these risks from occurring. As a consequence, in this situation the only feasible due diligence response should be disengagement of business relationships with companies operating in the Uyghur Region. Failure to take appropriate action to address these risks exposes businesses to potential enforcement action under the LkSG, as well as potential criminal liability for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.</p><p>The Policy Paper can be found annexed below and on the <a href="https://www.ecchr.eu/en/publication/confronting-systemic-human-rights-violations/">ECCHR

class="field-item"><p>On Tuesday 21 June, a provisional agreement was reached in trilogue on an amended version of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The ETUC is pleased to report that a number of its key demands for amendments to the original Commission proposal from April 2021 have been taken up in the agreement between the European Parliament and Council. &nbsp;</p> <p>In particular, the following improvements to the Commission proposal are included in the provisional agreement:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Trade union and workers’ representatives will have a greater role in the reporting process, which should help reduce the risk of greenwashing and improve the relevance of sustainability reporting for workers and other stakeholders &nbsp;</li> <li>Non-EU companies with significant business and at least one branch or subsidiary in the EU have been added to the scope of the directive;&nbsp;</li> <li>The list of human rights instruments and specific social issues covered by the CSRD has been expanded&nbsp;</li> <li>Companies will have to be transparent about specific information on the risks and impact from individual subsidiary companies;&nbsp;</li> <li>Regarding audits on sustainability reporting, measures have been put in place to attempt to reduce the concentration of the auditing market;&nbsp;</li> <li>Although the draft agreement falls short of the ETUC’s demand for 100% public funding and balanced representation of trade union, civil society and business in the European standard setting body (EFRAG). Nevertheless the agreement does improve public funding, supervision and stakeholder representation in EFRAG. The European Parliament will play a role in holding this body accountable; trade unions and civil society organisations are reinforced as key participants in the standard-setting process. &nbsp;</li> <li>Although the agreement does not include the EP’s amendments which list specific sectors with high environmental and social risks, sector specific standards will have to be developed in a way that takes into account the specific risks and impacts of each sector.&nbsp;</li> <li>Companies will have to disclose information about schemes that link a part of company executives’ pay to sustainability targets;&nbsp;</li> <li>Finally, against considerable resistance from the business community, listed SMEs have been kept in the scope of the directive;</li> </ul> <p>This provisional agreement on a considerably strengthened CSRD thus represents an important milestone in increasing transparency on their impact on people and planet and making companies more accountable to workers, trade union and workers’ representatives, and other stakeholders.</p> <p>As for the next steps, the provisional agreement reached in trilogue will now need to be confirmed by the Deputy Permanent Representatives in Coreper I. Following that it will be voted on and adopted by the EP (first in the JURI committee and then in plenary) and finally “rubberstamped” in the Council again. For the moment we do not have confirmed dates yet for any of those meetings, but we will keep you posted in due time of those dates and on any further actions we are requesting from you towards the representatives in the Coreper and EP.</p> </div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/etuclex_theme/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

analysis as well as some concrete proposals for amendments.</p> <p><strong>We now kindly ask you to provide your comments but more in particular your concrete proposals for textual amendments either in a third column or in the form of a comment. Please be as concrete as possible and provide indeed textual amendments as well as a short argumentation why you are proposing to amend, complement and/or delete a certain text of the Directive/Annex.</strong></p> <p><strong>We kindly ask you to send your amendments/comments the latest by Monday 22 August</strong> to Stefan Clauwaert (sclauwaert@etuc.org) and in cc Esyllt Meurig (emeurig@etuc.org) and myself (ischoemann@etuc.org).&nbsp;</p> <p>After having collected all your proposals we will present the overview/compilation to you at an extended ETUC mHRDD/SCG meeting

The law should apply to a broad group of companies, based on two regimes that differentiate according to size and risk of negative impact.</p> <p>The SER proposes that sector agreements be concluded at European level to implement the steps of the due diligence process and to develop best available techniques. According to the SER, the European Commission should be given the power to recognize sectoral agreements and other equivalent international agreements and support their conclusion. Once recognised, companies that commit to the agreements will fall under a lighter supervisory regime.</p> <p>Freedom of association and the conduct of collective bargaining are preconditions for enabling structural improvement in working conditions. The sectoral agreements therefore promote these rights in all sectors.</p> <p>In order to introduce legislation that will make a difference in international chains, adequate supervision and enforcement, sufficient manpower and additional resources are required from both governments and companies. Supervision should be organized at European level as much as possible so that it leads to the same results in all Member States.</p> <p>To access the full document ‘Effective European due diligence legislation for sustainable chains’, please see <a href="https://www.ser.nl/-/media/ser/downloads/adviezen/2021/europese-zorgvuldigheidswetgeving-duurzame-ketens.pdf">here</a> (in Dutch).</p> <p>For more information (in Dutch) please see <a href="https://www.ser.nl/nl/Publicaties/zorgvuldigheidswetgeving-duurzame-ketens">here</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/etuclex_theme/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/etuclex_theme/templates/paragraph/paragraph--paragraph-content-body.html.twig' --> </div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/etuclex_theme/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> Thu, 28 Oct 2021 10:32:15 +0000 ttaylordipietro@etuc.org 262 at https://etuclex.etuc.org
