#60 Peter Webster: Inside the Social LobbyMap - How Businesses Influence EU Sustainability Policy
Are companies saying one thing about sustainability, but doing something in their political lobbying that is very different?
A new report has just been published today by the sustainable finance pioneer, the Eiris Foundation, as part of a project called Social LobbyMap. It provides detailed and independent research on business lobbying on Europe's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The report is helping to provide the inside story of what was really going on in what was one of the most high profile political pressures on any piece of EU legislation.
To discuss this topic, Richard Howitt welcomes Peter Webster, Chief Executive of the foundation.
In this episode, you’ll hear more about:
Corporate lobbying and its contribution to watering down the CSDDD
The companies that do the right thing and how can companies contribute to being positive voices in sustainability
If trade associations are doing the “dirty work” on behalf of companies
How this research provides the data and the evidence that investors, civil society and companies themselves can actually use to align on these issues.
... and more!
