High Level Summary
Three new government directives will create new accountability mechanisms for corporate inclusion. The regulatory measures will impact all companies doing business in the European Union (EU), including many large U.S. based companies. These new laws engage the private sector by targeting corporations as producers of goods, suppliers of services, and as employers.
