In this episode of New Horizons, host Fabian Nendza speaks with Pascale Moreau, founder of OHANA Public Affairs, a leading Brussels-based consultancy helping businesses navigate the complex world of EU sustainability policy.

Together, they unpack:
• What’s really happening in Brussels after the 2024 EU elections
• The evolving fate of the EU Green Deal and what it means for business
• How legislation like the CSRD (Corporate Sustaibaility Reporting Dicrective) and CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligance Directive) is being reshaped—and whether it’s a needed correction for implementation or a dangerous watering-down
• What’s behind terms like “green claims,” “digital product passports,” and “nature credits”
• Why supply chain traceability is now a business imperative—not just a compliance box
• And most importantly: how businesses can move beyond fear of bureaucracy and embrace legislation as a driver of positive change

Whether you’re a sustainability leader, policy nerd, or brand navigating ESG complexity, this episode offers valuable insights—and hope. Because doing the right thing isn’t just ethical; it’s the North Star for long-term business success.
