Ursula vor den Leyen announced in early 2025 that EU sustainability and reporting regulations would be slimmed down significantly. In the days that followed, there was a declaration that a review and reduction of such EU regulations as the Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), Taxonomy and a number of related regulations would ensure that they would be reduced by 25 percent as early as the first half of the year. The entire initiative has been named the OMNIBUS Package.

As an aside, it’s worth mentioning that the name is rather unfortunate, because barely 6 years ago the Omnibus Directive was adopted at the EU level. It regulates, among other things, the listing of the lowest price of products in the last 30 days. It won’t make it any easier to get information about changes in sustainability legislation.
