The EU Commission is seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders, and we believe it is important that sustainability is further embedded into the corporate governance framework making it imperative for us to contribute to the February EU Commission public consultation on Sustainable Corporate Governance.

Some consideration and highlights about our submission:

• Sustainability legislation is beneficial when it does not get in the way with progress and action / implementation: It should not be a burden.

• Size considerations and proportionality are essential principles when developing sustainability legislation. It means that the regulatory requirements should be proportionate to the potential risks and impacts of businesses' activities.

• Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face unique challenges in implementing sustainability measures due to limited resources and expertise. Providing support and building capacity for SMEs is crucial.
