Supply chain transparency and corporate due diligence are becoming increasingly important and can lead to implementation challenges. The Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (LkSG) obliges companies with 1,000 or more employees to comply with social and environmental standards along their supply chains. Even if your business partners have over 1,000 employees, you are automatically subject to this obligation. Implementing the law can lead to challenges in day-to-day business. The Supplier Transparency module is available to simplify the processes. With Supplier Transparency, suppliers' products are checked and evaluated on the legal basis of the LkSG.
This data and content can also be used for the annual report to BAFA - the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control - on compliance with the supply chain due diligence obligation.
Automatic query of the reasons for risks via questionnaires to suppliers.

The Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains is a legislation aimed at obliging companies to comply with social and environmental standards along their supply chains. At the centre of this is the responsibility of companies for the conditions under which their products are manufactured, particularly abroad. The Supply Chain Act focuses primarily on the protection of human rights and the environment in global supply chains and, of course, within the company itself.
Companies must therefore take appropriate measures to identify, prevent or minimise risks in their supply chains. This can include audits, training, risk analyses and cooperation with suppliers.
Furthermore, companies are required to report transparently on their efforts to comply with the supply chain due diligence obligation. This takes the form of an annual report to BAFA, the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control. Companies that violate the requirements of the law can be fined. The exact penalties can vary depending on the severity of the offence.
