EU Parliament votes for watered-down Supply Chain LawUpdated: 16/12/2025 14:46The changes to the Supply Chain Law have cleared the next hurdle: the EU Parliament in Strasbourg gave the green light. The requirements are now to apply only to a few large companies and will come later than planned. The EU lawmakers in Strasbourg have approved changes to the Supply Chain Law. The law is intended to hold companies accountable for human rights violations and environmental pollution in production. Companies will have to report details about their suppliers to the authorities - for example, about working conditions in a sewing factory in Bangladesh, a cocoa plantation in Brazil, or a raw materials mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the regulation is now expected to come into force in a watered-down form and later than planned.The Supply Chain Law was originally passed in spring 2024, but it is not yet in effect and has already been delayed once. The negotiators have now agreed on another postponement: the member states are to transpose the EU requirements into national law by 26 July 2028. A year later, the companies affected will have to comply with them.
