Even with EU clarity emerging, the global due diligence landscape remains in flux. The simplified EU package raises thresholds to 1,000 employees and €450 million turnover for CSRD, and 5,000 employees and €1.5 billion for CSDDD (ESG Drive, 2025) narrowing scope dramatically. Meanwhile, outside Europe, regulatory momentum continues, so for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, this creates a
complex puzzle.
This session maps the current state of play and what’s coming next:
- The latest on CSDDD, CSRD, and EUDR: what the finalised EU simplification package could mean
for implementation timelines, scope, and practical obligations - Beyond Europe: regulatory developments in key sourcing regions and what emerging due
diligence frameworks mean for global supply chains - How businesses are adapting their due diligence systems to stay compliant across multiple, often
conflicting, jurisdictions without building parallel programmes - The role of traceability, data infrastructure, and supplier transparency as enablers of compliance
- How companies can prepare for the next wave of global regulations while avoiding “wait and see”
paralysis
What to expect from this type of session...
Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
