For Tiemo Wölken, the stakes are high when the European Parliament votes on its position on the Due Diligence Act today. The SPD politician worked on the dossier as his group’s shadow rapporteur in the Environment Committee. He is fighting for companies to pay attention to the environmental impact of their supply chains and, above all, to make them climate-neutral by 2050. However, the conservative forces in Parliament, including large parts of the EPP, reject this – the vote is thus likely to be close.
