📢 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗨 𝗢𝗺𝗻𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 – 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 The Omnibus proposal is officially out, with some major regulatory rollbacks for corporate sustainability in Europe. With changes spanning the CSRD, CSDDD, Taxonomy, and CBAM, the reporting landscape has just changed dramatically. 🔍 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀—𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁. 🚨 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗔 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: 1️⃣ CSRD – Reporting Scope Slashed 🔹 Two-year delay for many companies that haven’t yet reported. 🔹 80% of companies removed from mandatory reporting 🔹 Sector-specific standards scrapped 🔹 ESRS under review for streamlining 2️⃣ CSDDD – Weakened Due Diligence Rules 🔹 Focus only on direct suppliers – removal of full value chain due diligence 🔹 Assessment frequency cut – Required every 5 years instead of annually 🔹 Penalties softened – No references to fines related to global turnover 🔹 Civil liability removed 3️⃣ EU Taxonomy – Reporting Becomes Optional for Most 🔹 Only “very large” companies must report (>1,000 employees) 🔹 80% of companies exempted from Taxonomy alignment 🔹 Partial alignment reporting introduced 4️⃣ CBAM – Simplification and exemptions 🔹 Exemption threshold introduced for importers 🔹 Implementation delayed to 2027 instead of 2026 🔹 Product coverage remains the same for now but may expand in 2026 🔹 Emissions tracking requirements simplified 👉 What is your take—necessary streamlining or a retreat from sustainability leadership? Can a balance be struck between sustainability and competitiveness? I think it can. In fact, I don't think they even should be contradictory. The big question is whether this omnibus strikes that balance. I'm not so sure. #CSRD #CSDDD #EUTaxonomy #CBAM #Sustainability #ESG #SustainabilityReporting #EURegulations #ClimateFinance #CorporateResponsibility
