Press conference: simpler sustainability reporting and due diligence rules [2]
On 22 October at 14.30, Parliament President Roberta Metsola and rapporteur Jörgen Warborn will brief journalists on new sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements.

WHERE: *Daphne Caruana Galizia press conference room (Weiss N-1/201), Strasbourg, and via Interactio [3] (with interpretation into English, French, German, Italian, Maltese and Swedish).
Seeking to boost competitiveness and cut red tape, Parliament is finalising its negotiating position on simplified sustainability reporting [4] and reduced due diligence [5] rules for companies. MEPs want to reduce the pool of companies falling within the scope of the rules, ease sustainability reporting requirements and reduce due diligence duties.
