What is the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG)?
The German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz or LkSG) requires companies operating in Germany to implement due diligence procedures to identify, prevent, and remediate human rights violations and environmental risks throughout their supply chains.
Organizations must conduct supplier risk assessments, maintain documentation of compliance activities, and demonstrate oversight of suppliers and business partners.
