Directive (EU) 2024/1760, EUR-Lex
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
Map the chain of activities, partner by partner.
The EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive asks large companies to identify and address human rights and environmental impacts in their operations, subsidiaries and business partners.
Fill Easy returns registry evidence on who each partner is and who owns it.
Adopted in 2024, then revised.
Directive (EU) 2024/1760 entered into force on 25 July 2024. In-scope companies identify, prevent and address adverse impacts across their chain of activities, and adopt a climate transition plan.
The EU's 2025 Omnibus simplification package postponed first application to July 2028 and revised the scope. Check the current consolidated text before planning.

What mapping the chain needs.
Where company records feed the due diligence.
| Obligation | What it asks | What Fill Easy returns |
|---|---|---|
| Map operations and subsidiaries | Your own group, and the entities in it | Ownership traced layer by layer through each registry to the natural persons at the top |
| Identify business partners | Who each partner is, and where it operates | Registry extract and statutory documents from the company's home registry, across 60+ jurisdictions |
| Prioritise by risk | Focus on the most severe and likely impacts | AML, sanctions and PEP screening on the company and the people found; credit reports and litigation searches |
| Monitor | Periodic assessment of the measures taken | Monitoring and remediation: the book re-checked at source from one Excel file |

Questions about CSDDD due diligence
Not covered here? Ask our team
Does Fill Easy make us compliant with CSDDD due diligence?
No. The due diligence duty sits with your firm under CSDDD due diligence, and your policies decide what is enough. Fill Easy supplies the evidence those policies rely on: records from the government or registry source, each showing where and when it was retrieved.
Our partners are mostly in Asia. Can you cover them?
Yes. Fill Easy searches registries across 60+ jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and the offshore centres where Asian groups often hold their companies.
