TDi Sustainability

Could you give us a little bit of an explanation or a description of what you were working on for the last 20 years of relevance to this topic today?

Jeannette, I wonder if you could give us a little bit of an explainer on the Omnibus package and the regulations that preceded it or are still there but are affected by it affected

Is this what the EU is thinking? is it really pulling back from its sustainability agenda in favour of economic growth or is it fair to say that this is more a refinement and kind of a settling of a sensible middle ground?

So if it's not a watering down of the environmental sustainability expectations, why would it need to change?

What do you think the effect of this new package will bring to businesses  generally? Will  it enable them to continue to be competitive globally?

What should companies that are still in scope of CSR,   CSDDDD do next to make sure they're ready for the new deadlines?

Do you have the same understanding and optimism that Peter has that the smaller companies who are part of these international supply chains won't be affected?

Do you think that this Omnibus package signals the end of that role for Brussels or does in fact in some way   leave open an opportunity for it to strengthen that role?

Is this just the beginning and what does this mean for the European Green Deal as a whole?

What do you think would be the EU's response to that?

Have you got any reflections on the response that Peter  has provided?

Should the EU be responding so quickly and robustly or should the EU be taking a longer term view and plowing its own forest ?

What  broad advice do you give your clients that TDi Sustainability is still a priority?

What did we learn about the implementation of regulations through that exercise?

What are some of the benefits of voluntary compliance and reporting?

If you were to cast your eyes, minds ahead three years, where do you see the EU, Peter, on regulation?

Is this the right move and where do you see, in three years time, companies being on sustainability and ESG?
