EU Corporate Due Diligence: Finding the Smart Mix with Prof. Radu Mares

In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, we sit down with Professor Radu Mares from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights at Lund University to explore the global implications of the European Green Deal, one of the EU’s most ambitious and evolving policy experiments to date. Recorded during the EU-VALUES international conference in July 2025, this conversation offers exclusive insights from Radu’s Conference paper “Is the EU Green Deal a Regulatory Revolution?”, where he argues the EU may be spearheading a profound shift in global supply chain governance. Radu explains: 🔹 What the European Green Deal really is, and why it might be revolutionary 🔹 The concept of a “layered smart mix” in EU policy design 🔹 How EU rules affect global supply chains, and why countries outside the bloc are pushing back 🔹 The risks of “leakage” and unintended consequences for the Global South 🔹 How the EU might balance climate ambition with global fairness and cooperation This is a must-listen for anyone interested in climate policy, global trade or the EU’s expanding role as a regulatory power. 🌐 Learn More About Our Work: EU-VALUES Website: www.eu-values.eu/ 📲 Follow and subscribe to us for more expert insights on democracy, governance, and European civil society: Instagram 👉 www.instagram.com/euvalues.eu/ LinkedIn 👉 www.linkedin.com/company/eu-values-network/ Spotify 🎧 👉 open.spotify.com/show/4bmecvWt1As2M4cRBsyW6i SoundCloud 👉 @euvaluesnetwork #EuropeanGreenDeal #ClimatePolicy #SupplyChains #GlobalGovernance #EUVALUES #GreenTransition #RaduMares #SmartMix #TradeJustice #HumanRights #Europe #RegulatoryPower #Sustainability #ClimateJustice
