The pursuit of immediate profit maximisation for business owners alone is under attack from those who want to ensure the long-term survival of economic activity and the environment in which business operates. Sustainable development is now a goal that companies can no longer ignore. National and international jurisdictions are becoming increasingly bold in enshrining corporate responsibility but the current international standards and legislative frameworks are insufficient to achieve sustainability. It is in this context that the European Commission has published in February 2022 a proposal for a directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. This context and the content of the proposed European directive will be presented to you on 19 October 2022.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"biographies\"\n    >\nBiographies<\/h2>\n<p>Karima is a member of the Luxembourg Bar and a founding partner of the law firm HAMMOUCHE.
