Pushing Back on Progress? The Future of Human Rights Due Diligence Due diligence laws like Germany’s LkSG and the EU’s CSDDD are major civil society achievements toward corporate accountability in global supply chains. But the new Omnibus regulation proposed by the European Commission could weaken their reach. What would this mean for affected workers and communities – particularly in the Global South – and for companies which are already implementing the regulations? At stake are not only legal frameworks, but also the deeper tensions between economic interests, sustainability, and justice. Voices from law, civil society, and corporate compliance discuss what’s next for due diligence laws and global supply chains. // Moderator:in: Dîlan Sina Balhan, Lawyer and ESG Executive at Fieldfisher Office // Panel-Teilnehmende: Caroline Omari Lichuma, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg, currently researching and critically analysing regulatory developments in Business and Human Rights, Diana Sanabria, lawyer and human rights due diligence expert at the Human Rights Office at Hapag-Lloyd, Ceren Yildiz, legal expert on corporate environmental and climate accountability at Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V / Friends of the Earth Germany, Anke Saßmannshausen, lawyer at the European law firm Fieldfisher, advising companies on structuring commercial contracts that ensure legal compliance while advancing transparency and sustainability in business relationships Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltung auf Englisch durchgeführt wird. // Organisator:innen: Fair Trade Stadt Hamburg, Lukas Tödte
