Webinar recording: European Commission publishes first Omnibus package – what we know so far

On 26 February 2025, the European Commission published the much-anticipated first Omnibus package, with proposals to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD / CS3D), the Taxonomy, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). 

After many weeks of speculation and rumour, we now know what changes the Commission wants to make – with the aim of simplifying and reducing regulatory burdens on business. 

We held a webinar on 3 March in which our ESG specialists discussed what the proposed changes mean – specifically in relation to the CSRD and CSDDD – and what happens next.
