Consultation on the Implementation of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act
Measures for Supply Chain Management and Procurement
The new law on the protection of human rights in global supply chains poses new challenges for supply chain management and procurement departments. We summarized the essential facts for you and help you fully comply with your due diligence obligations and improve your supplier and risk management.
1. What Does the German Supply Chain Act Include?
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettengesetz), which came into force on January 1, 2023, requires companies to traceproduction processes and working conditions in their supply chains that violate human rights and to take measures to eliminate abuses. This applies not only to activities within your own company, but also to the business units of your suppliers and upstream suppliers at all stages of their supply chain.
3. How Must Procurement and Supply Chain Management React?
Procurement managers and supply chain executives urgently need to review and, if necessary, readjust their supply chain to meet not only regulatory requirements but also the high demands of consumers. They also need to implement the following measures:
- Develop procedures to identify risks to human rights violations in the supply chain
- Take appropriate countermeasures for prevention and remediation
- Establish a complaints procedure
- Report annually and publicly on how human rights violations are prevented
