Ecopreneur.eu in the media: an Omnibus regulation could lead to unpredictability

Brussels, 26 November 2024: Ecopreneur.eu is quoted in an article the Dutch financial newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad on the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s recent suggestion to introduce an ‘Omnibus’ regulation aggregating the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy. The quote reads as follows: 

“The process [of introducing an Omnibus] also creates uncertainty for companies, says Arthur ten Wolde, director of the European Sustainable Business Federation Ecopreneur. His association has around 5,000 members, most of whom are SMEs that are at the forefront of sustainability. ‘Companies want predictability. The question is whether it is smart to adjust legislation, which also requires Parliament’s approval. The very possibility of adjustments leads to unpredictability.”

Ecopreneur.eu will closely monitor the developments concerning this idea as to prevent watering down of the existing laws.
