CSDDD

    Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.

    Operationalise due diligence across your entire value chain

    What CSDDD requires.

    The CSDDD requires companies to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for adverse human rights and environmental impacts across their value chains. It goes beyond disclosure — companies must take action.

    Unlike CSRD which focuses on reporting, CSDDD demands operational processes: risk assessments, grievance mechanisms, remediation plans, and continuous monitoring of suppliers and business partners.

    The directive extends responsibility deep into supply chains, including indirect business relationships. Companies need systems to map, assess and monitor risks at scale.

    Why it's hard.

    Deep value chain visibility

    Responsibility extends beyond Tier 1 suppliers to indirect business relationships across geographies.

    Ongoing risk assessment

    Due diligence is not a one-time exercise — it requires continuous monitoring and reassessment.

    Remediation obligations

    When adverse impacts are identified, companies must take concrete steps to remediate — with documentation.

    Stakeholder engagement

    Meaningful consultation with affected communities and stakeholders is required but hard to operationalise.

    How Regweaver helps.

    Value chain mapping

    Visualise and structure your full value chain to identify risk-exposed segments and suppliers.

    Continuous monitoring

    Automated risk scoring and alerts when supplier conditions change or new risks emerge.

    Due diligence workflows

    Structured processes for risk assessment, action plans and follow-up — all traceable.

    Audit-ready documentation

    Every assessment, decision and action is logged with full traceability for regulators.

    Who's affected.

    You may not be in scope — but your customers are.

    Companies in scope

    EU companies with >5,000 employees AND >€1.5bn net worldwide turnover (Art. 2(1) CSDDD, as amended by Directive (EU) 2026/470)

    Regulation impacts organisations — but execution happens across teams.
