Compliance with the German Supply Chain Law

Supporting efforts to comply with new supply chain act

With the newly minted German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act coming into effect in 2023, companies and their supply chain partners must now prepare for compliance to avoid fines and penalties excluding them from governmental contracts.

Auditing due diligence throughout the supply chain

The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act recently passed by the German government provides updated standards affecting regulatory compliance requirements for companies and their business partners. According to the new criteria, companies are obliged to:
  • Minimize risks to human rights or the environment throughout the supply chain
  • Appoint a Due Diligence officer for internal processes and practices
  • Develop and implement a compliance management system
  • Establish a risk management system and conduct regular annual risk analyses
  • Introduce preventive and remedial measures into business operations
  • Adopt a policy statement
  • Provide a yearly public report
