How does the EU CSDDD affect Indian subcontractors?
The statutory duty sits with the large EU company and travels down the contract chain. In practice the Indian supplier faces a code of conduct, an audit right including unannounced audits, human rights and environmental questionnaires, remediation deadlines and an obligation to pass the same terms to its own suppliers.
What has to be done
- Have verifiable records ready on working hours, overtime, occupational safety, wages and age of workers, at the site the customer buys from.
- Operate a grievance mechanism and keep the case records; the customer will ask to see how complaints were handled.
- Prepare for on-site audits and for unannounced ones; the audit right is how the EU customer discharges a statutory duty, not a show of distrust.
