Omnibus I and CSDDD:

Less Regulation, More Risk?

Омнибус I и CSDDD: по-малко регулации, повече риск?

We invite you to join our upcoming webinar exploring the evolving EU sustainability regulatory landscape in the context of the Green Deal after Omnibus I.

This 60-minute session will provide a clear and practical overview of what has changed—and what it means for businesses.

What to expect

At first glance, the changes introduced by Omnibus I may appear to simplify reporting and procedural requirements. However, in practice, they may increase risks related to competitiveness, market access, and corporate reputation.

In a shifting geopolitical context—and alongside EU rules targeting greenwashing and products linked to forced labour—companies face growing expectations. To avoid serious consequences (including potential seizure of goods), businesses should move towards broader, UNGPs-aligned human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) and adopt a coherent approach across key frameworks such as CSRD, SFDR, and the EU Taxonomy.

In this webinar, you will gain

  • A clear understanding of what Omnibus I changed in the CSDDD—and what remains unchanged
  • Insights into why ESG and sustainable development continue to matter for business and finance
  • Practical guidance on emerging risks and expectations companies should prepare for
