The European Parliament has narrowly rejected the Omnibus I compromise (309 in favour, 318 against). The proposal aimed to simplify sustainability regulation, including higher thresholds of 1,000 employees / €450 million turnover (CSRD) and 5,000 employees / €1.5 billion turnover (CSDDD).

The package now moves directly to the plenary, where amendments can be submitted before the vote on 13 November. The direction remains uncertain: while some MEPs call for deeper cuts, others warn against weakening the framework too far.

• Downstream operators will no longer need to submit their own due diligence statements.
• Sanctions for large companies will only apply from 30 June 2026.
• Micro and small enterprises will have until December 2026 to comply.

Beyond corporate footprints, product-level carbon footprints (PCFs)are increasingly in focus for regulators, customers, and investors.

Our new PCF Whitepaper explains how to measure, compare, and manage product emissions across your value chain, and how to apply recognized methodologies (GHG Protocol, ISO 14067) effectively.

The paper offers practical insights into how companies use PCFs as a foundation for decarbonization strategies and ESG communication – and how these processes can be automated through the EQS Sustainability Cockpit.
