The European Union’s Due Diligence Directive Must Be Stopped

While this might seem well-intentioned, the EU’s CSDDD, which officially came into effect on July 25, 2024, poses a significant challenge to American sovereignty and energy production.

As my colleagues Justin Haskins and Jack McPherrin note in a recent Heartland Institute Policy Study outlining the CSDDD:

It’s not an exaggeration to claim that the CSDDD is among the most restrictive and overtly authoritarian legislations in the annals of western democratic history. This directive seeks to globally enforce extensive ESG objectives by imposing requirements on large companies engaging with the European Union, regardless of their geographical headquarters. What’s more troubling is that the CSDDD compels these companies to enforce similar standards on numerous businesses within their global supply networks—profoundly altering social and economic activities worldwide. This represents one of the most serious threats to freedom that Americans encounter today.

With the CSDDD in place, all U.S. enterprises, whether they are large multinational corporations or small family-owned farms, would need to comply with the EU’s environmental guidelines that emphasize the widespread adoption of costly and unreliable so-called green energy, while limiting the production of plentiful, affordable, and dependable fossil fuel energy.

In essence, the CSDDD “is a transition plan for climate change mitigation aligned with the 2050 climate neutrality objective of the Paris Agreement as well as intermediate targets under the European Climate Law,” says the EU.
