The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LKSG), which came into force on 01 January 2023, obliges companies based in Germany with more than 1,000 employees to check their supply chains for possible human rights violations and environmental damage and to take appropriate measures to prevent such violations. However, companies based outside Germany can also fall within the scope of the law if they supply to German companies.
A supply chain directive (CSDDD) was adopted at the EU level in April 2024 requiring companies to manage risks in the supply chain. Based on these laws, European companies will also engage with their suppliers abroad and request relevant information regarding compliance with human rights and environmental standards.
Furthermore, the Sustainability Directive (CSRD) is currently being implemented in Europe, mandating that companies enhance sustainability in key areas of their business and involve their suppliers in this process.
