Scrip's Five Must-Know Things - 16 June 2025

The European Commission has put forward a series of proposals designed to simplify European Union sustainability rules and boost the region’s competitiveness. As a result, application dates for EU due diligence and sustainability reporting requirements have been delayed by two years. Other proposals such as reducing the frequency of reporting and narrowing the scope of supply chains are still subject to trilogue negotiation. In the first of two Over the Counter episodes, CEN Group director Jasper Crone returns to the podcast to explain what might change, where he thinks this is all coming from and why companies should consider getting ready for new sustainability reporting rules even if they are no longer directly affected. 

Timestamps:
2:00 – Introductions
4:30 – EU sustainability reporting regulation recap
7:20 – Omnibus simplification package
12:00 – Simplification, or confusion?
19:00 – Where’s this all coming from?
23:30 – Why sustainability reporting is still good for business
25:40 – What’s all this got to do with competitiveness?

The impact of the FDA’s changing Diversity Action Plan guidance on sponsors’ trial planning
