EU leaders are about to roll back hard-won protections for
human rights and the environment.
The “Omnibus
proposal” is the first in a series of deregulation bills designed to
weaken EU rules on deforestation, fossil fuels, and
greenwashing.
If it passes, corporations will be
freer than ever to destroy forests, pump in dirty energy, and
mislead us about their climate record. And once this door is
opened, more rollbacks will follow.
But here’s the good news:
the European Parliament hasn’t voted yet. MEPs still have the
power to stop this—and they will act if we show them that
rolling back protections is politically toxic.
Tell MEPs: Reject the Omnibus law!
The
people want better protections for the planet and better
accountability for corporations – public opinion polls show. And the
EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
does exactly that – it makes companies responsible for preventing
human rights abuses and environmental harm throughout their global
supply chains by making them legally liable if they
fail to implement sustainable business
practices.
Lobbyists argue that deregulation will free
business from bureaucratic hell and extra costs. But the truth
is, cutting these laws means more human rights violations, more
deforestation, and more climate chaos — while responsible businesses
are left at a disadvantage. The Omnibus isn’t about creating less
hassle; it’s about letting polluters off the hook.
Our
community has fought and won against corporate lobbyists before —
from stopping toxic trade deals to securing bans on single-use
plastics, and even the CSDDD. Together, we can protect Europe’s
hard-won regulations and stop this dangerous rollback in its
tracks.
Tell MEPs: Reject the Omnibus law.
