Companies operating across global value chains face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. Cascale’s new [Global Legislative Overview Map](https://cascale.org/about-us/advocacy/global-legislative-overview-map/?utm_source=newswire&utm_medium=3bl&utm_campaign=legislative-map) provides an interactive, region-by-region view of 21 key human rights and environmental due diligence and sustainability reporting frameworks across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.

Developed as a companion to the 2026 Global Due Diligence and Sustainability Reporting Legislation Report, the map helps users understand where major regulatory developments are taking shape and how expectations differ across markets.

**Key Takeaways**

- Explore 21 key due diligence and sustainability reporting frameworks in an interactive global map.
- View developments across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
- Use the map to understand where regulatory activity is taking place and how requirements vary by jurisdiction.
- Access the accompanying report for detailed legislative analysis and the Higg Index overlap assessment.
- The map will be updated periodically as relevant legislation evolves.

**What Does the Global Legislative Overview Map Cover?**

The map visualizes legislation related to corporate sustainability reporting and human rights and environmental due diligence. Users can explore the frameworks by region and review high-level information about their scope, requirements, and status.

It is intended to provide an accessible starting point for companies monitoring regulatory developments across multiple markets. The map can also support internal discussions among sustainability, legal, compliance, sourcing, public affairs, and leadership teams.

**How Does the Map Relate to the Report?**

The initial version of the map is based on the legislative analysis included in Cascale’s [2026 Global Due Diligence and Sustainability Reporting Legislation Report,](https://cascale.org/about-us/advocacy/global-legislative-overview-map/?utm_source=newswire&utm_medium=3bl&utm_campaign=legislative-map) published earlier this year. The report provides more detailed information on each legislative framework, including:

- Scope and applicability
- Key requirements for companies
- Implementation status and timelines
- Relevance to Cascale’s strategic pillars and workstreams
- Where the Higg Index frameworks may support readiness efforts related to data, governance, and performance measurement
