Simplified, Not Weakened: EU Sustainability Legislation and International Supply Chains
Book Presentation
On March 25th, 2026, Prof. Dr. Peters presented his recently published book “Simplified, not weakened: EU Sustainability Legislation and International Supply Chains” during a well-attended lunch session.
During the session, Prof. Dr. Peters explored the growing role of arbitration in handling conflicts arising from the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), particularly concerning corrective action and remediation plans.
The presentation highlighted his comparative research into the arbitration frameworks of 11 leading institutions, with a special focus on consolidation and joinder mechanisms, critical tools for managing multi-party disputes.
The discussion provided valuable insights for legal professionals, sustainability officers, compliance teams, and business leaders who are navigating the increasing impact of ESG regulation on global operations. Prof. Dr. Peters also placed EU developments in a broader international context, comparing ESG and sustainability legislation, as well as stock exchange rules, across the EU, the United States, and China.
The session concluded that as supply chains face greater scrutiny, arbitration is poised to become an essential mechanism for resolving the complex, multi-party disputes that sustainability legislation inevitably brings.
