Covered companies should be liable for harms that they, or a company they control or have the ability to control, have caused or contributed to through acts or omissions. The Directive should also establish grounds for liability when a covered company fails to engage in meaningful HRDD and when and how this might give rise to a cause of action and/or access to remedy by rights-holders.
