Supply chains & due diligence obligations

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

Values that make an impact

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.
