Joint Statement: Disastrous Omnibus proposal erodes EU’s corporate accountability commitments and slashes human rights and environmental protections.

CONCORD has joined over 360 organisation in calling on the European Parliament and EU Council to act to block the Omnibus proposal.

The proposal, which had been announced late last year, represents a stark departure from its original promise. If implemented, it risks jeopardising the objectives of crucial corporate sustainability laws and undermining not only the EU’s commitment towards its green ambitions and protection of human rights, but also its credibility as a reliable law maker.

As part of the signatories, we urge the EU Parliament and Council to revise the proposal to avoid a foreseen de-prioritisation of human rights, workers’ rights and environmental protections.
