European Commission Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence

In conjunction with the presentation of the proposal for a Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, a two-day conference was organised together with the European Corporate Governance Institute, where the Directive was discussed provision by provision. The discussion served as a basis for the consultation responses that were later written. Speakers included Adj. Professor Rolf Skog (SCGI), Associate Professor Erik Lidman (SCGI), Professor Paul Davies (University of Oxford), Professor Guido Ferrarini (University of Genoa), Professor Wolf-Georg Ringe (University of Hamburg), Professor Alessio Pacces (University of Amsterdam), Professor John Armour (University of Oxford), Professor Marco Becht (Solvay Brussels School for Economics and Management, Université libre de Bruxelles), Professor Luca Enriques (University of Oxford), Florian Möslein (Philipps-Universität Marburg), Professor Steen Thomsen (Copenhagen Business School, Professor Mariana Pargendler (Harvard Law School) and Professor Renée Adams (University of Oxford).

The conference was held online due to the pandemic, with over 900 participants.
