(Brussels, January 21, 2021) - The European Parliament should seize the opportunity to strengthen the accountability of businesses operating in Europe by asking them to respect human rights and the environment in their global supply chains, Human Rights Watch said today.
On January 27, 2021, the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs will vote on a proposal calling on EU legislation to hold companies accountable, including recommendations for its content. If the committee approves the proposal, it will be put to the European Parliament for a vote. Parliament's recommendations could help shape the initiative on corporate responsibility law announced by Didier Reynders, the European Commissioner for Justice, in April 2020.
