EU Green Deal Reality Check with Pascale Moreau
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 “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.

GRV is the editorial team behind New Horizons, Globetrotter Ausrüstung’s podcast on sustainability in the outdoor world.
We’re at a defining moment in human history. The choices we make now will determine whether we protect life on this planet—or lose it.
There’s no middle ground. But there is a way forward: by listening to each other, aligning our actions, and working together across industries, sectors, and stories.
That’s how real change happens—and that’s the work GRV is here to do. With this podcast, Globetrotter shines a light on the people, tools and ideas driving positive change.
From game changer personalities, fair supply chains practices to circular design, from protecting wild places to rethinking business as usual—we explore what sustainability really means to outdoor lovers!
“The last five years were the Green Deal’s golden era: collective effort laid the foundations. Today the Green Deal is law, the strategy is set—now it’s time to move decisively.
Sustainability needs clear legislation. There will be setbacks, but that’s where innovation thrives. The Green Deal isn’t done—it’s our cue to build on the momentum.”
