Abstract: This paper offers a critical overview of the newly proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive by the European Commission. The aim is to uncover potential opportunities, challenges, gaps, and contradictions, within the directive. We provide insights on how companies can effectively navigate through these issues and leverage upon the directive for more environmentally friendly and ethically sound operations within the global value chain. Ultimately, our aim is to offer researchers, managers, and policymakers a viewpoint on the potential impacts of the new directive on organizations and provide future research directions around responsible corporate conduct across global value chains.
