Switzerland's New Corporate Sustainability Framework: What to Expect

Switzerland's New Corporate Sustainability Framework: What to Expect

<p>The Federal Council has published the consultation draft of the Federal Act on Sustainable Business Conduct ("<strong>SBCA</strong>"), Switzerland's proposed framework for corporate sustainability due diligence and reporting. Closely aligned with the post-Omnibus EU framework, the SBCA significantly narrows the scope of companies subject to sustainability reporting compared to current Swiss law, while introducing new due diligence obligations for large enterprises, and raising important questions on civil liability that remain unresolved. The consultation period runs until 9&nbsp;July 2026.</p>

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Legislators in Switzerland and the EU are taking significant steps to simplify their respective sustainability reporting and corporate sustainability due diligence frameworks. In the EU, the Omnibus package introduced immediate deferrals of certain deadlines and proposes substantive simplifications to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) which will also impact non-EU entities, such as Swiss companies. In parallel, the Swiss government has paused domestic sustainability reforms announcing that it will publish a proposal for an indirect counterproposal to the second responsible business initiative by end of March 2026, once the direction of EU reforms becomes clearer. In early December, SIX Swiss Exchange has suspended its voluntary sustainability reporting "opt-in" regime for issuers with effect from 1 January 2026.
