Zusammenfassung

The main objective of this research is to investigate and learn how the European Union has historically and to date dealt with the objective of ensuring that multinational companies manage to respect human rights, including labour rights, and the environment, when they operate in States where these rights are not guaranteed by the applicable domestic legislation. To this end, special emphasis will be placed on how the various EU institutions have moved from a clear and firm commitment to voluntary instruments based on Corporate Social Responsibility to considering it necessary to establish binding regulations that oblige companies to apply due diligence systems, extending them, if necessary, to their entire global supply chain.
