Program Overview: What is CSDDD Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence?
CSDDD Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence is a 30-hour instructor-led program for compliance, legal, procurement, and sustainability teams that must make due diligence a working system. Across eight modules, participants work through the CSDDD legal framework, core due diligence obligations, risk mapping and impact assessment, grievance mechanisms and remediation, climate transition plans and liability, monitoring with reporting and verification, and integrating CSDDD into procurement and audit. It closes with an end-to-end CSDDD readiness lab on realistic value-chain scenarios.
Training pairs live instruction with guided labs: five practice sessions alternate with instructor walkthroughs, so participants draft due diligence policies, score value-chain risks, design grievance mechanisms, handle complaints, and prepare evidence packs. Each lab adapts to the team's sector, footprint, and supplier base, with the instructor reviewing every deliverable with the rigor of a real supervisory examination. Peer review sharpens each judgment before it is finalized. The program culminates in a five-hour capstone where teams run one complete end-to-end CSDDD readiness exercise.
Due diligence treated as a paperwork project fails the first real examination: risks unmapped, grievances mishandled, climate plans unwritten, and evidence packs that cannot prove what the company claims. Supervisory authorities and civil liability both target exactly these gaps. This program builds due diligence as a repeatable routine: mapped risks, functioning grievance channels, credible transition plans, and evidence that demonstrates compliance rather than asserting it.
The end-to-end readiness lab is the program's proof of concept: each team produces a documented CSDDD readiness package for a realistic value chain, covering policy, risk mapping, impact assessment, grievance design, remediation steps, transition planning, and a monitoring and verification routine, reviewed to examination standard. The instructor tests every element the way a supervisory authority would. Teams return with policy templates, risk scoring tools, evidence pack formats, and a due diligence routine they can run quarter after quarter.
Your teams practice with realistic value-chain scenarios, drafting policies, scoring risks, handling complaints, and preparing evidence packs, so due diligence becomes a repeatable routine rather than a one-time project. Content adapts to your sector, footprint, and supplier base, while instructors review every lab with the rigor of a real supervisory examination.
