Ensuring Ethical, Transparent, and Sustainable Business Operations

    Semicon City (Semicon City) is committed to fostering responsible and sustainable industrial development. As global regulations on corporate accountability evolve, Semicon City aligns with the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) to ensure that businesses operating within its ecosystem comply with international environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

    CSDDD establishes a framework that requires companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts across their operations and supply chains. Semicon City provides the necessary infrastructure, governance support, and compliance framework to help businesses meet these regulatory requirements while fostering sustainable and ethical growth.

    Understanding the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

    The CSDDD mandates that companies:

    • Identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to human rights violations, environmental degradation, and social governance concerns in their supply chains.
    • Integrate due diligence processes into corporate strategies and procurement policies.
    • Establish monitoring mechanisms, grievance redressal systems, and corrective action frameworks.
    • Ensure transparency through sustainability reporting and compliance disclosures.
    • Adopt climate risk mitigation strategies and transition to net-zero emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement.

    Semicon City supports businesses in meeting these obligations by providing guidance on sustainability compliance, ESG best practices, and due diligence frameworks tailored to global standards.
