EU Omnibus Package Set to Weaken Sustainability Reporting Laws

July 4, 2025 by Admin
The EU Omnibus Package is set to weaken core sustainability reporting laws under the Green Deal, impacting fashion and footwear sectors. Out of 175+ directives, around 45 will directly affect these industries.
What’s Changing?
Why It Matters for Leather
  • Regulatory relief may ease supply chain burdens but risks diluting sustainability commitments.
  • Companies already invested in ESG compliance face setbacks, as relaxed rules could undermine fair competition.
  • The industry loses momentum in promoting leather’s natural, renewable sustainability credentials.
Big Picture
The EU is shifting focus from strict ESG oversight to economic flexibility—a win for businesses avoiding red tape but a setback for sustainability advocates.
