Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. Labor perspective

Abstract

This paper analyses the corporate due diligence directive (2024/1760) from a
labour perspective based on five general and complementary approaches. The first concerns the shift from ethics to law that the directive entails. The second relates to the possibilist perspective that permeates the entire study. The third concerns the category of due diligence. The fourth focuses on the labour rights at work protected by the directive. And the fifth and final approach, the least explored to date, looks at the directive from a national perspective, despite the fact that the idea behind the directive is unequivocally transnational.
