Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business

#67 Filip Gregor: Proposed Omnibus on EU Sustainability Laws - Latest “Inside View” from Brussels


Listen Later

On the podcast this week, we’re back with a full length conversation on the Omnibus proposal, which has been causing uncertainty over Europe’s sustainability reporting, due diligence and sustainable finance laws.

Richard Howitt and Filip Gregor look back at our “Frankly Speaking on Sustainability and Competitiveness” organised in Brussels at the end of January. Some of the top policy makers, experts and practitioners engaged in a constructive conversation on what simplification should look like. 

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • What came out of the conference and the importance of bringing practitioners from companies into the Omnibus conversation

  • Why Europe’s sustainability standards are one of its biggest competitive advantage

  • The latest insights on what’s happening in Brussels, why policymakers should not panic and the need for a transparent process

  • What are the serious options for moving forward while remaining true to the fundamentals of the CSRD, CSDDD and Taxonomy


  • As Richard reminds our business listeners in the episode, ensure that you are aligned with what the business association you are a member of is saying on your behalf in Brussels.

    We also urge companies to join the call upon the EU Commission to NOT dismantle its sustainability framework and ensure the legal certainty that companies need to efficiently plan their transition and implement the new legislations
