Methods are benchmarked on open-source EHR datasets, Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and IV (MIMIC-III/IV).

Businesses started to familiarize themselves with the new directive to develop future compliance strategies. Despite its importance, the familiarization process has received little attention in research. Through interviews with employees and legal intermediaries, this paper investigates how multinational enterprises in the chocolate sector experienced this process. Drawing from socio‐legal theory, the findings show that business behavior adapts to shifts in regulatory governance that underpin key concepts of the EUCS3D, such as <jats:italic>due diligence</jats:italic>. Although the impact of those changes on the rights situation across global value chains remains uncertain, this paper contributes valuable insights for governance and compliance research. For practitioners, it underlines the importance of reliable transposition of rules for business, of multi‐partite negotiation in compliance‐relevant processes, and that appropriate regulatory governance may ease resistance to new regulation in interplay with business and global value chain context.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144202185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
