Article 8(3) of Directive (EU) 2024/1760 requires Member States to ensure that for the purpose of identifying and assessing the adverse impacts, companies are entitled to make use of appropriate resources, including independent reports and information gathered through the notification mechanism and the complaints procedure provided for in that Directive. To reduce compliance-related burden for companies and the relevant business partners, it should be specified that digital solutions, industry and multi-stakeholder initiatives could also constitute appropriate resources. Therefore, companies should be able to obtain the necessary information through industry and multi-stakeholder initiatives in order to avoid duplicative requests. However, companies also remain free to obtain the information individually.
