The Impact of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) on EU-China Relations: Navigating Compliance, Trade, and Technological Cooperation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the impact of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) on EU-China relations, particularly focusing on compliance with sustainability standards in global supply chains. The CSDDD introduces stringent requirements for companies operating in the EU to address environmental and human rights impacts throughout their value chains. Chinese suppliers, being significant players in EU supply chains, face challenges in aligning with these standards, yet the directive opens avenues for enhanced technological cooperation, such as blockchain, to foster greater transparency. This dynamic raises questions about potential trade tensions but also highlights opportunities for collaboration in technological innovation and sustainable practices.
