Background:
The Omnibus Simplification package, announced on 26 February by the European Commission, aims to streamline four sustainability regulations - the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive), CBAM (Corporate Border Adjustment Mechanism) and the EU Taxonomy. The objective is to reduce administrative and reporting burdens and lower the cost of compliance for companies, in a bid to boost competitiveness in the EU block.
The European Commission presented two proposals,
- the so-called Stop the Clock proposal, which would delay the application of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by two years and the Corporate Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) by one year
- another proposal to make substantive changes to CSRD, CSDDD and CBAM, reducing the scope and updating requirements for companies in scope
