TÜV NORD UMWELTSCHUTZ
Since 2023, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act has required organisations to protect human rights and environmental standards throughout their entire supply chain. Through risk management, preventive measures, and grievance mechanisms, violations can be identified and prevented at an early stage. Annual reporting ensures transparency
Organisations are increasingly tasked with upholding human rights and minimising environmental impacts across their value chains. With the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the upcoming European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), regulatory pressure is growing to embed this responsibility systematically into structures and processes.
We support you in implementing these complex requirements within your organisation — from risk analysis to the development of suitable initiatives, and integration into existing management systems. Our focus is on establishing a risk-based approach that not only complies with legal obligations but also delivers tangible benefits: greater transparency, improved decision-making, and strengthened trust among customers, partners, and other stakeholders.
By strategically embedding human rights and environmental due diligence, you increase your organisation’s resilience, minimise liability risks, and credibly position yourself as a responsible market actor.
Early adaptation to new legal requirements enables organisations to ensure compliance and avoid legal risks. A proactive approach also helps minimise financial and operational burdens.
Stronger Supplier and Customer Relationships
Implementing sustainable standards builds trust with suppliers and business customers. Close collaboration enables the achievement of shared goals and the establishment of stable, long-term business relationships.
Responsible and transparent sustainability management helps build public trust and protect the organisation’s reputation. This enhances the corporate image and supports crisis prevention.
Sustainable practices demonstrate that the organisation takes responsibility and shares common values. This increases employee engagement and strengthens motivation and loyalty over the long term.
Organisations that actively advance sustainability strengthen their market position. Being perceived as a responsible company can attract new customers and business partners, enhancing overall competitiveness.
