Resumen

Sustainability compliance is no longer limited to annual ESG reporting or public commitments. Companies are now expected to understand the human rights, labor, environmental, and governance risks connected to their operations, suppliers, subcontractors, subsidiaries, and wider value chains.

The CSDDD Due Diligence and Supply Chain Sustainability Compliance course helps professionals understand how the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive connects with responsible business conduct, human rights risk, environmental due diligence, supplier governance, responsible procurement, worker protection, remediation, and board-level accountability.

This course is designed for professionals working in compliance, ESG, procurement, sustainability, supply chain, legal, HR, audit, risk, and corporate governance roles. It explains due diligence in a clear business-focused way, helping learners understand how organizations can identify risks, collect evidence, work with suppliers, manage complaints, respond to harm, and build a stronger due diligence management system.

Across 15 hours of structured online learning, learners will explore CSDDD foundations, Spain’s responsible business context, human rights risk identification, environmental and sustainability risk, supplier controls, grievance mechanisms, remediation pathways, enforcement exposure, stakeholder communication, and future-ready compliance planning.

The course is especially useful for companies based in Spain, companies linked to Spanish supply chains, and professionals supporting organizations that need to prepare for stronger EU sustainability due diligence expectations.
