What they argued
Rainforest Alliance welcomes the Commission’s proposal for an EU directive on corporate sustainability due diligence (CSDDD), as a key step to set a level playing field and deliver on global human rights and environmental commitments. However, there are opportunities for improvements to meet its intended objectives.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the European Commission’s initiative on sustainable corporate governance, including a due diligence duty for companies and considering stakeholder interests for long term sustainability. Mandatory due diligence will create a much-needed level playing field for companies already taking their responsibility in their supply chains and gives laggards a push to do so.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the proposal for a directive on substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (Green Claims Directive), as a stepping stone to tackle misleading claims and greenwashing.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the EU Roadmap on Substantiating Green Claims and recognizes the importance of providing clear and reliable information on sustainability claims. This is an important element of ensuring that consumers, but also buyers and investors, can make more sustainable decisions.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the EU initiative on Empowering the Consumer for the Green Transition and recognizes the importance of providing clear and reliable information on sustainability claims. This is an important element of ensuring that consumers can make more sustainable choices.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the opportunity to give feedback on the roadmap on ‘Deforestation and forest degradation – reducing the impact of products placed on the EU market’. The work of the Rainforest Alliance is based on the voluntary commitment to sustainability of our partners throughout the supply chain.
The Rainforest Alliance welcomes the European Union (EU) communication on stepping up EU Action against Deforestation and Forest Degradation as increased commitment to action in the fight against deforestation and forest degradation. We believe that EU support will bring essential added value, especially in installing demand-side measures and providing supply-side support.
