Financial services, Corporate sustainability, Corporate sustainability

The European business community supports an EU due diligence framework. However, it calls for realism, proportionality, and workability for this framework to truly enable and guide businesses in taking necessary steps towards more sustainable supply chains. This includes companies under the scope but also SMEs that will be impacted. In this crucial phase of the legislative process, the business community would like to put forward a number of recommendations and concerns to enhance the benefits of the corporate sustainability due diligence proposal (CS3D).

Aligning EU securitisation rules with global markets

The European Parliament’s November 2025 draft report on revitalising EU securitisation strengthens the Commission’s proposal by pushing further simplification, but it overlooks a central flaw in the framework: the misalignment between EU and non‑EU securitisations that continues to restrict EU investors’ access to global markets. Investor access should depend on whether sufficient information is available for due diligence, not on the use of a specific reporting template.

MEPs can make this fix by removing the template‑based verification requirement in Article 5(ii)(e) and anchoring investor due diligence in a clear, substance‑based ‘sufficient information’ standard. When combined with the Parliament’s encouraging simplification proposals, this targeted fix would lower operational costs, enable proportionate due diligence and strengthen market depth – all without weakening core safeguards.

Revitalising EU securitisation

Mobilising private capital for long-term, productive investments is critical to advancing the EU’s green and digital transitions and realising the objectives of a Savings and Investments Union (SIU). However, the EU securitisation market has seen a significant decline since the global financial cri-sis and has since continued to lag behind comparable markets. Previous efforts to revive the EU secu-ritisation market, such as the introduction of the EU Securitisation Regulation and the Simple, Trans-parent and Standardised (STS) label for traditional securitisations have not meaningfully improved the situation.

Whilst not the panacea to all of Europe’s funding challenges, learn why revitalising securitisation in Europe will help unlock private finance and thereby create better conditions for the financing of the EU economy.

Ensuring a predictable framework for EU sustainability reporting

AmCham EU has joined 16 industry partners in urging support for the amended Taxonomy Delegated Act. With application set for 1 January 2026, any delay would create legal uncertainty and disrupt company preparations already underway. The revised rules offer simplified and more consistent reporting obligations, essential for business confidence and regulatory stability. Reopening the process now would increase costs and undermine Europe’s competitiveness. Learn why timely adoption of the Delegated Act is critical to ensure predictable implementation, maintain trust in the EU Taxonomy framework and support companies’ sustainability efforts in the joint industry statement.
