The European Parliament last week rejected the mandate adopted by its legal affairs committee this month on simplified rules for sustainability reporting and due diligence obligations for companies operating within the European Union (EU) by 309 votes in favour, 318 against and with 34 abstentions.

It will decide its position on simpler sustainability requirements ahead of talks with EU governments at the next plenary session in Brussels on November 13.

The EU governments already adopted their position on June 23. The aim is to finalise the legislation by the end of the year.

Following the delayed application of the sustainability reporting and due diligence obligations, the current proposal seeks to simplify them and ease the administrative burden on companies, an official release said.

This is part of the Omnibus I simplification package proposed by the European Commission on February 26, 2025.
