475 organisations are calling on EU policymakers to preserve the core of the EU sustainability framework. This joint statement has been backed by 130 investors and financial institutions, 87 real-economy companies and 92 other organisations.

The statement emphasises that preserving the key elements of both the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is essential to redirect capital flows toward forward-looking technologies and sectors, in alignment with the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal.

The statement was coordinated by PRI, the European Sustainable Investment Forum (EUROSIF), the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), the Corporate Leaders Group (CLG Europe), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and E3G.

This statement builds upon a previous Investor joint statement on the European Commission’s ‘omnibus legislation’ published on 4 February 2025. While the February statement set out high-level expectations, this renewed call reflects recent policy developments and reiterates the importance of preserving the integrity of the EU’s sustainability framework in light of the proposed legislative changes.
