About the Session
With the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Whistleblower Directive, and CSRD now in force, legal, compliance, and ESG leaders must align reporting, grievance, and risk governance mechanisms. ESG is no longer just voluntary — it’s legally binding, with real consequences for failing to identify and mitigate adverse impacts.
This roundtable brings together legal, ESG, compliance, and ethics professionals across the EU to explore:
-
CSDDD obligations around supply chain and human rights due diligence
-
Linking whistleblower systems with ESG risk detection
-
CSRD-aligned ESG risk disclosures and materiality assessments
-
Integrating grievance mechanisms with audit and reporting
All participants will receive the full session recording and a curated post-event toolkit via GC360Flix.
