CSDDD qualifying criteria

Scope of the directive The CSDDD targets companies employing more than 1,000 individuals and with a global net turnover exceeding € 450 million( US $ 464m). The threshold encompasses approximately 0.05 % of European companies. Non-EU entities generating the same net turnover in the EU market must adhere to the regulations.

Affected companies must identify, prevent, mitigate and account for adverse human rights and environmental impacts throughout their operations, subsidiaries and value chains. Procurement teams, in particular, face expanded responsibilities as the directive introduces a phased implementation schedule to ease the transition.
