Environmental Due Diligence Obligations in Home State Law with Regard to Transnational Value Chains

Abstract

AbstractThe following chapter takes a closer look at transboundary environmental harm caused by business operations in the context of transnational value chains. Here, the transboundary character does not necessarily result from the environmental harm’s course but rather from transboundary economic causal links via transnational value chains. Consequently, the situations considered in this chapter are generally those categorised as one of the ‘type-two cases’ detailed in the previous chapter.
