The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) aim to reduce labor and environmental risks arising from global corporate activity. The directives have harmed businesses in the United States and Europe, deepening the continent’s economic stagnation.
Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with US Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder, who will join remotely via video, and Senior Fellow Harold Furchtgott-Roth on America’s interests in reducing the harmful effects of CS3D and CSRD.
