Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz

The creation of mandatory social standards in global supply chains has been the subject of legal policy debate for almost three decades. While the European Commission continues to struggle over a regulatory proposal, Germany has passed the Act on Corporate Due Dilligence Obligations in Supply Chains (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG). This directional decision has great practical significance not only for those employed in foreign supply chains, but also for companies in an economy such as Germany's, which is dominated by imports and foreign trade. The 8th Wiesbaden Compliance Day focused on the fundamentals and components of this sensational development and made an initial impact assessment.
