How this tool can support you

With the increasing number of sustainability related legislations such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, companies must step up their due diligence and data collection efforts. Doing so is crucial to being a good corporate citizen while simultaneously helping you meet compliance requirements. The ESG Regulations Navigator breaks down the recommendations of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct (OECD Guidance) into actionable items and compares them to international regulations.

The ESG Regulations Navigator helps you...

...understand key legislative obligations, allowing you to prioritize and focus
...identify (potential) gaps in your current implementation approach and best practices
...hold informed discussions with internal stakeholders and advisors
...reduce frustration when trying to identify actions common to several regulations

The OECD Guidance is compared to the:

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
German Supply Chain Act
Swiss Code of Obligations
Norwegian Transparency Act
EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
EU Conflict Minerals Regulation
EU Regulation on Prohibiting Products Made with Forced Labour on the Union Market

Why should you use this tool?

Companies including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly required to demonstrate a clear understanding and transparent commitment in addressing the human rights and environmental impacts of their operations. SMEs are particularly under growing pressure from customers, financial institutions, governments, and other stakeholders to provide information on their human rights and environmental due diligence, while adhering to specific codes of conduct.

The ESG Regulations Navigator supports participants of the UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein to get a comprehensive overview of the listed regulations and in defining actionable steps.
