ActionAid joins over 160 CSOs, trade unions & activists to say no to the Omnibus proposal. The EU should not undo the progress that has already been achieved with the Green Deal, but encourage a race to the top and protect human rights, the environment, and climate; all while providing stakeholders with a level playing field through clear expectations, legal certainty and timely and comprehensive guidelines on implementation.
We urge European Commission President von der Leyen to:
- Uphold EU corporate accountability legislation including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Taxonomy Regulation.
- Adhere to the current timeline for the transposition and implementation of these essential laws, and provide timely and clear guidelines for compliance.
- As a matter of urgency, clarify the Commission's intentions and be fully transparent about the rationale, scope, timeline, legislative process, impact assessment as well as the consultation period related to the proposed omnibus.
Please see our joint, signed letter for additional information.
