| Abstract: | The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) presents both opportunities and challenges for global sourcing practices, particularly affecting the relationship between EU buyers and Asian suppliers. This study explores the antecedents that may help overcome the global sales barriers of CSDDD, using the dynamic capabilities theory to develop a guide. Through qualitative research and interviews, the study examines Asian companies’ capability to sense, seize, and transform new opportunities and threats. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, revealing that while CSDDD aims to foster sustainable business practices, its successful implementation requires understanding and adaptation to region-specificities and technological advancements. Additionally, training and education, as well as the use of contractor firms, were identified as important tools to achieve the goals of CSDDD more effectively in Asian countries. |
