CSDDD and CSRD require companies to conduct meaningful due diligence on workers in their supply chains. This guide explains what that means in operational terms: how worker interviews are structured, what documentation is required, what counts as sufficient evidence, and how fieldwork is typically organised.

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, as amended by Omnibus I in February 2026, applies to EU companies with more than 5,000 employees and 1.5 billion euros in worldwide turnover, with obligations from 26 July 2029. For companies sourcing from Southeast Asia, this means supplier mapping, risk assessments, due diligence plans, and contractual changes. This guide explains what is required and what it means in practice.
CSRD and CSDDD have changed what EU procurement teams ask for, what they put in supplier contracts, and what happens when suppliers cannot provide it. This article explains what EU buyers are now requiring, why, and what it means for non-EU suppliers who want to stay in those supply chains.
EU sustainability regulations carry real financial penalties: up to 4% of annual EU turnover under EUDR, up to 3% of worldwide turnover under CSDDD.
