Limit the in-depth impact assessment, as a general rule, to your own operations, your subsidiaries and your direct business partners
What changes
The mandatory in-depth-assessment population narrows from potentially the whole chain of activities to, as a general rule, direct business partners only — indirect partners drop out of the default duty (though a conditional duty to reach them survives via new Art. 8(2a), see DD-04).
Prior rule vs new rule
Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2024/1760 obliges Member States to ensure that large companies above a certain size conduct risk-based human rights and environmental due diligence.
