# CSDDD Remediation Plan Template: Article 12, 13 and 14 evidence

A CSDDD remediation plan template for actual adverse impacts, complaint inputs, stakeholder engagement, action records, and monitoring evidence.

*CSDDD* *Template* *EU*

## EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive Remediation Plan Template

A remediation-plan structure for actual adverse impacts under CSDDD Article 12, with complaint inputs, stakeholder engagement, evidence fields, and monitoring records.

Use it to document whether the company caused, jointly caused, or is linked to the impact, what remedy is being provided, and how affected stakeholders can follow the outcome.

This template is for CSDDD remediation planning after an actual adverse human rights or environmental impact has been identified. It focuses on the Article 12 remediation decision, Article 14 complaint or notification inputs, Article 13 stakeholder engagement, and the evidence a company needs to monitor whether the response is adequate.

## 1. Impact and responsibility record

Start the remediation plan by separating three cases: the company caused the actual adverse impact, jointly caused it, or the impact was caused only by a business partner. Article 12 makes remediation mandatory where the company caused or jointly caused the actual adverse impact. Where only the business partner caused the impact, the company may provide voluntary remediation and may use its influence to encourage the partner to provide remediation.

This section should be narrow enough for later review: name the impact, affected people or environmental interest, business unit, subsidiary or business partner, chain-of-activities link, and the evidence used to decide the company's connection to the harm.

- Impact ID: stable identifier, date opened, source of identification, and affected operation, subsidiary, or business partner.
- Impact summary: actual adverse impact, affected stakeholder group, severity factors, and whether the impact is human-rights or environmental in nature.
- Responsibility finding: caused, jointly caused, business-partner-only, or unresolved pending evidence.
- Evidence basis: complaint file, investigation notes, supplier records, audit or assessment results, stakeholder submissions, and company decision owner.
- Required response: Article 12 remediation, voluntary remediation, use of influence over the business partner, or further fact-finding with a due date.

Sources for this answer:

- [Directive (EU) 2024/1760 Article 12](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports the responsibility split used in this template: required remediation where the company caused or jointly caused the actual adverse impact, and voluntary remediation or influence where only a business partner caused it.
- [EUR-Lex summary of Directive (EU) 2024/1760](https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Confirms that remediation for actual adverse impacts is one of the Directive's due diligence elements.

## 2. Complaint and notification intake fields

Article 14 inputs should feed the remediation plan directly. A well-founded complaint means the adverse impact is treated as identified for the Directive's due diligence process, so the plan should preserve the complaint pathway, the founded or unfounded reasoning, and the follow-up offered to the complainant.

The intake record should also handle notifications that do not become formal complaints. Keep confidentiality and retaliation controls visible in the template because Article 14 requires reasonably available measures to protect the identity and safety of complainants and notifying persons.

- Submission channel: complaint, notification, collaborative mechanism, industry mechanism, multi-stakeholder mechanism, or global framework agreement.
- Eligible submitter: affected person, legitimate representative, trade union, workers' representative, experienced civil society organisation for environmental impacts, or other notifying person or entity.
- Confidentiality controls: anonymous or confidential handling requested, identity-sharing restrictions, retaliation risk, and safety conditions before any disclosure.
- Assessment result: founded, unfounded, or pending, with reasons and the evidence reviewed.
- Complainant follow-up: requested follow-up, meeting with appropriate company representatives, reasons provided, and steps taken or to be taken.
- Article 12 link: whether the complaint raises potential remediation, what remedy options are under review, and who owns the remediation decision.

- [Directive (EU) 2024/1760 Article 14](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports the complaint-intake fields, including eligible complainants, confidentiality, founded or unfounded reasoning, follow-up rights, and the link from well-founded complaints to Articles 10, 11 and 12 measures.
- [EUR-Lex summary of Directive (EU) 2024/1760](https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Confirms that notification and complaints procedures should be accessible, publicly available, and allow concerns to be raised anonymously and confidentially in accordance with national law.

## Build the remediation record before closing the case

Use this template to connect the impact finding, complaint record, stakeholder engagement, remedy action, and monitoring evidence in one CSDDD remediation file.

- [Open Research Copilot](/solutions/research-copilot.md): Check CSDDD remediation, complaint, and stakeholder-engagement questions against cited source material.
- [Discuss CSDDD implementation](/contact.md): Review remediation-plan scope, complaint evidence, stakeholder records, and monitoring fields with Sorena.

## 3. Stakeholder engagement and remedy design

Article 13 requires effective stakeholder engagement when adopting appropriate remediation measures under Article 12. The template should therefore record who was consulted, what information was shared, what additional information was requested, and whether any request was refused with written reasons.

If effective engagement with stakeholders is not reasonably possible to the extent needed, record the credible experts consulted instead. The record should also show how barriers to participation, confidentiality, anonymity, and retaliation risks were addressed.

- Stakeholder map: affected persons or groups, workers' representatives, trade unions, legitimate representatives, civil society organisations, business partner contacts, and relevant company owners.
- Information shared: impact summary, proposed remediation options, limits on disclosure for trade secrets or safety, language or format accommodations, and date shared.
- Information requested: stakeholder request, response provided, response date, format, and written justification if information was refused.
- Engagement barriers: language, accessibility, location, digital access, fear of retaliation, power imbalance, confidentiality, anonymity, or representative capacity.
- Remedy design: remedy objective, proposed action, affected stakeholder feedback, responsible function, implementation milestone, and unresolved disagreement.
- Expert fallback: reason direct engagement was not reasonably possible, expert consulted, expertise basis, insight received, and limits of the expert input.

- [Directive (EU) 2024/1760 Article 13](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports the stakeholder-engagement fields for remediation planning, including consultation when adopting Article 12 remediation measures, additional information requests, barriers, confidentiality, anonymity, and expert consultation where engagement is not reasonably possible.
- [EUR-Lex summary of Directive (EU) 2024/1760](https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1760/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Confirms stakeholder engagement is a due diligence element under the Directive.

## 4. Remediation action table and monitoring evidence

The action table should connect each remedy to the impact, the person or group it is intended to address, the responsible owner, and the evidence that the action happened. Avoid recording a remedy as complete until the evidence shows both implementation and follow-up with the affected stakeholder or complainant where relevant.

Article 15 requires periodic assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of due diligence measures, including remediation-related measures. Add monitoring fields that can show whether the remedy reduced, ended, or repaired the harm and whether the due diligence policy or measures need updating.

- Action row: remedy type, affected stakeholder or environmental interest, target outcome, owner, approver, start date, target date, and current status.
- Business-partner row: requested partner action, leverage used, partner response, contractual or purchasing-practice changes, and escalation if the partner does not act.
- Evidence row: payment or restitution proof, corrective action evidence, policy or process update, supplier communication, stakeholder meeting note, or complaint follow-up record.
- Outcome row: stakeholder feedback, complaint closure status, residual harm, further action needed, and whether the remedy is proportionate to the impact.
- Monitoring row: qualitative or quantitative indicator, latest assessment date, significant change trigger, next review date, and owner for updating the adverse-impact record.
- Governance row: decision approver, legal or human-rights review, procurement or sustainability owner, and whether public communication or annual-statement content needs updating.
