„Two-thirds of German laws originate from European Union legislation.“ This statement appears in the German government’s contribution to European policy. While the exact percentage is difficult to measure, one thing is clear: European laws have a significant impact on the daily lives of citizens as well as on business operations—and even business models. What is decided in Brussels must be implemented. This extends beyond regulations on financial reporting or the composition of supervisory boards; it also includes investment requirements, production standards, and supply chain regulations.“

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) aims to promote greater sustainability but also introduces extensive reporting obligations, resulting in a significant bureaucratic burden. Similarly, the European Supply Chain Law will require large European and foreign companies operating within the EU to ensure compliance with specific environmental and human rights standards throughout their supply and value chains—yet its implementation demands substantial effort.
These regulations are created through a structured process: proposed by the European Commission, debated in the European Parliament, and refined by the Council of the Member States before being jointly adopted. For businesses, staying vigilant during this process is essential, as today’s decisions will shape tomorrow’s economic landscape.
