Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned expert in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. Jonathan is on a short hiatus and in this episode, we have a special guest, Karen Moore who discusses the EU’s Corporate Sustainability-Due Diligence Directive.

Karen Moore is a well-versed professional in the area of impact assessments and due diligence, with a particular focus on human rights and environmental issues to prevent and address potential harm. Her perspective, shaped by her extensive experience, is that impact assessments and due diligence are key indicators of a corporation’s commitment to preserving the environment and upholding human rights.

Moore emphasizes the importance of these processes not only within a company’s own activities, but also within those of its suppliers and indirect suppliers. She stresses the need for a robust due diligence process, including tracking progress, publishing annual statements, implementing complaints procedures, and involving all employees.

Additionally, she highlights the challenges of managing these processes, such as complex questionnaires for third-party suppliers and the need for streamlined assessments. She believes in a proactive approach to corporate responsibility, going beyond regulatory requirements to foster sustainable practices and ethical decision-making.
