Munich partner Ferdinand Fromholzer was interviewed by the International Bar Association for an article on the future of sustainability regulation, “The Future of Corporate Sustainability” (January 22, 2026).

Ferdinand commented on the “Omnibus package” of the European Union simplifying the rules found under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).  The EU is simplifying its regulatory approach to sustainability, he said, not because it is conceptually challenging sustainability regulation but because it is “worried about the global competitiveness of its enterprises and wants to relieve some of the administrative burden connected with this legislation.”
