What is the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains?

The German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains came into force on 1st January 2023 and applies to all companies employing over 3000 people. But what does it mean? The LkSG is intended to ensure that companies uphold human rights and environmental standards within their supply chains. Any violations have to be recognised, mitigated and rectified as quickly as possible.
We, too, are complying with these requirements and have therefore issued a policy statement, among other things, and appointed a Human Rights Officer. The latter is responsible for monitoring compliance with the LkSG and is also your point of contact should you have any complaints or concerns regarding violations. You can, however, also contact us directly via the online complaints procedure.
