Transparency International reported on Wednesday that the European Commission prioritized the interests of large corporations and the United States during consultations aimed at simplifying sustainability regulations. The organization alleges that these groups were disproportionately represented throughout the decision-making process in Brussels.
The report suggests that this influence contributed to the subsequent relaxation of sustainability standards. By highlighting the imbalance in the consultation phase, the findings raise questions regarding the transparency and inclusivity of the Commission's regulatory reform efforts.
