The **[EU Omnibus Package](https://commission.europa.eu/news/commission-proposes-cut-red-tape-and-simplify-business-environment-2025-02-26_en)** 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?**

- **[CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive):](https://finance.ec.europa.eu/capital-markets-union-and-financial-markets/company-reporting-and-auditing/company-reporting/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en)** Less stringent **ESG reporting requirements** for companies.
- **[CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive):](https://commission.europa.eu/business-economy-euro/doing-business-eu/sustainability-due-diligence-responsible-business/corporate-sustainability-due-diligence_en)** **Narrower supply chain accountability**, raising compliance thresholds.
- **Overall:** Less red tape, **delayed implementation, and reduced reporting obligations** to boost business competitiveness.

**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.

**Dig deeper**
