🧐 An oil spill poisons a village's water. Workers trapped in forced labour stitching clothes for export. Who's accountable & can affected people actually reach justice? Save your seat for the 1st UN Business & Human Rights Regional Forum to find out! 👉 events.unglobalcompact.org/regionalBHRF...

What makes companies change their behavior on sustainability? 🤔 A new @nature.com Communications study tracking 600 EU companies over a decade (2.9M data points) offers telling clues: progress only happens where regulation forces it. Voluntary action has limits. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New data from @milieudefensie.bsky.social & ActionAid Nederland shows Dutch banks poured $11.5B into transition mining linked to human rights & envi abuses. The energy transition won’t be just if we copy/paste the exploitative playbook of the fossil fuel economy. actionaid.nl/wp-content/u...

We’ve spent years urging platforms to do better. A new Eurobarometer shows it’s not working : 1 in 3 teens report psychological harm from social media. ⚖️ It’s time to stop asking nicely and start holding #BigTech legally accountable. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

🚨Omnibus I Political agreement Early this morning, EU institutions reached a political agreement that marks a turning point: 👉 The first rollback of an adopted due diligence law in history 👉 The first major file pushed through via an EPP–far right alliance www.linkedin.com/posts/europe...

🗞️ #CSDDD update EU Parliament rejects the JURI Committee’s Omnibus I position This makes one thing clear: political blackmail has no place in EU decision making 👉This rejection reopens space for pro-EU forces to find common ground, not let climate deniers & corporate lobbies dictate the outcome

The EU Green Deal is not just policy, it’s a lifeline As climate catastrophes multiply, we cannot weaken rules for companies to reduce emissions. Accountability & ambition must guide Europe’s just transition. We are saying it loud: from Maastricht to Brussels from 21-23 Sept #BackToTheFuture march

4🧵It's not just policymakers, also business Oil & gas companies are attacking the #CSDDD cause obliges big companies operating in the EU to adopt & implement mandatory climate transition plans No wonder they hate the law — it finally makes climate action enforceable www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

3🧵This political decision is part of the Omnibus deregulation wave killing core elements of the EU Green Deal. Corporate promises don’t deliver. ➡️Only 28% of Europe’s 280 biggest companies have science-based net-zero targets ➡️21 promised climate targets — & did nothing spendwell.com/reports/1101...

In Brussels, the sun is burning so much that even the Atomium was closed due to the extreme heat. Yes, the climate crisis is accelerating. Yet in the EU's capital, we’re watching climate accountability being gutted in real time. 🧵Why are EU policymakers gutting climate transition plans?

After 8NGOs filed a complaint, the EU watchdog has decided to investigate the EU Commission over the flawed lawmaking process on the Omnibus Package. We are clear: it is not simplification, but full-scale deregulation designed to dismantle corporate accountability & abandon #GreenDeal commitments.

The @europarl.europa.eu just hit pause on corporate accountability. We say: justice delayed, justice denied. #NoToOmnibus By delaying sustainability laws, the EU is giving polluters & exploiters more time to act w/impunity. Meanwhile, responsible businesses & affected communities are left in limbo

European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) @eccjorg.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
No, it’s not an April fool. The @europarl.europa.eu just approved an urgent procedure to handle the “stop-the-clock” proposal—limiting debate & expert input. The real urgency is the climate crisis & human rights—not cutting corners on democracy. EU sustainability laws are not red tape #NoToOmnibus

Confused w/#Omnibus? Check out our takeaways on what it means for corporate accountability & what’s at stake: ▫️Value chain obligations: limited scope & impact ▫️Climate plans: from action to paperwork ▫️Penalties: a weakened accountability framework 🔗 corporatejustice.org/news/takeawa...

The Commissions proposes to restrict #DueDiligence to just direct suppliers, so that companies would have no obligation to identify risks & potential harms beyond their immediate contracts. But it's towards the bottom of supply chains were most #HumanRights & envi abuses widely happen #NoToOmnibus

Now that the #Omnibus proposal out, what's at stake? A betrayal to those who the CSDDD aimed to protect The message by the Commission: time to turn a blind eye to forced labour, land grabs & envi devastation—leaving victims powerless while corporations walk free corporatejustice.org/news/press-r...

The cost of CSDDD compliance is a pittance in comparison The financial cost of complying with the #CSDDD – as estimated by the European Commission – would represent only 0.13% of the average shareholder payouts made in 2023. Source: www.somo.nl/csddd-compan...

The @ec.europa.eu is about to announce its much-anticipated #Omnibus package on sustainability, a sweeping deregulation initiative targeting the #CSDDD, #CSRD & the #EUTaxonomy Would they hear us? #NoToOmnibus

The EU calls closed-door consultation meetings w/lobbyists a "reality check" But the real reality check is what happens when corporate impunity goes unchecked. Today, our trade union leader @kalpona.bsky.social tell us firsthand what corporate abuse means 🔗 corporatejustice.org/news/reality...

🚨 Back to protest mode Tomorrow, @ec.europa.eu will announce #Omnibus, but we've seen the leaked text: it's a direct assault on the EU sustainability framework & dramatic for the #CSDDD It's not simplification, but full-scale deregulation designed to dismantle corporate accountability #NoToOmnibus

European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) @eccjorg.bsky.social · 24/02/2025
The #Omnibus is a sucker punch for workers, communities and all those victims of corporate abuse. Remember devastating Brumadinho case? It represents a systematic failure of impunity. This is the real reality check—& why we need #CSDDD to stop corporate abuses. More than ever, we say #NoToOmnibus

European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) @eccjorg.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
Let’s call it what it is: #Omnibus is a reality check for corporate power, not for people or the planet. In today's World Day of #SocialJustice, remember the major oil spill in Peru, 2022. This tragedy is a real reality check—& why we need the #CSDDD to stop corporate abuses. We say #NoToOmnibus

The EU calls closed-door meetings w/lobbyists a "reality check." But the #Omnibus serves corporate power, not people Remember the fire in the textile factory in 2012? This is the real reality check—& why we need #CSDDD to stop corporate abuses 🎞️https://youtu.be/dM-82EgYtec We say #NoToOmnibus

Not without us We are in front of the @ec.europa.eu bringing the voices of victims of corporate abuse that EU policymakers do not want in their consultation meeting today. NGOs & trade unions have a common message: #NoToOmnibus The EU should serve people and the planet, not corporate interests.

4🧵DYK The #CSDDD provides tools for workers & communities to defend their rights & hold companies accountable? It mandates: 🔸 Stakeholders must be consulted during the #DueDiligence process 🔸 They can file complaints w/companies & authorities 🔸 They can ask info on risk from the company

Access to justice is no longer a distant goal—it’s an obligation under the CSDDD. Workers and communities can now take big companies to justice when their rights are violated.

3🧵DYK 70% of trade depends on global supply chain workers? Yet, while multinationals profit in the EU, workers in their supply chain often face exploitation The #CSDDD requires companies to adopt appropriate measures to prevent harm in their supply chains corporatejustice.org/news/unpacki...
Infographic – CSDDD Explained: Protecting workers in global supply chains 

Protecting human and worker rights across supply chains is no longer optional—it’s a legal obligation under the CSDDD. This Directive requires multinational companies to ensure safe, fair, and ethical treatment of hundreds of millions of workers across their entire supply chain, addressing exploitation and holding businesses accountable for their impact on workers.

2🧵DYK Only 30% of major corporate emitters align w/1.5 goals? The #CSDDD changes that: companies must adopt & implement plans w/emission reduction targets across value chains—key since #ClimateChange knows no borders Binding rules ensure climate accountability corporatejustice.org/news/unpacki...

Corporate emissions reduction is no longer a choice—it's an obligation under the CSDDD. The Directive forces companies to adopt climate transition plans and reduce emissions across their value chains to align with the 1.5°C target.
