Strasbourg, October 21, 2025 – The European Parliament is set to streamline sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements for companies, aiming to enhance competitiveness by reducing bureaucratic burdens. This initiative will be detailed in a press conference scheduled for October 22, 2025.

Parliament President Roberta Metsola and Jörgen Warborn, the rapporteur from the Legal Affairs Committee, will lead the briefing at 14:30 CEST. The event will be held in the Daphne Caruana Galizia press conference room in Strasbourg and will also be accessible remotely via Interactio, offering translations in multiple European languages. The session will clarify the Parliament’s stance before entering discussions with EU member states.

The proposed legislative changes focus on minimizing the number of companies affected by stringent rules, simplifying reporting obligations, and easing due diligence tasks. These modifications are part of the Parliament’s broader effort to foster a more sustainable yet economically viable business environment within the EU.

Journalists are encouraged to attend in person or participate online, where they can engage directly by asking questions. For those new to the Interactio platform, an early connection test is recommended. The conference will also be streamed live and available on-demand on the Parliament’s Multimedia Centre website, ensuring broad accessibility and engagement.
