Since January 1, 2023, the Supply<\/a> Chain Due Diligence Act<\/a>, or Supply Chain Act (LkSG) for short, has been in force to regulate corporate responsibility for compliance with human rights in supply chains for the first time. To help you navigate and prepare for the regulatory developments surrounding the LkSG, we have answered some important questions for you. <\/p>\n

Questions and answers on the Supply Chain Act<\/h2>\n

1. Why does Germany need a supply chain law?<\/h3>\n

In the course of globalization, German companies source raw materials and products from all over the world. In addition, investments are made in foreign production and distribution facilities and goods are exported worldwide. In the process, human rights and environmental protection violations are occurring more and more frequently. These have their origins in the constantly increasing competitive and price pressure to which globally active companies are exposed. Up to now, companies have only borne minimal responsibility for the impact of their business activities abroad. Attempts to voluntarily implement protective measures against human rights and environmental protection violations have failed miserably. A binding framework is therefore needed to oblige companies to take greater care with regard to these issues. <\/p>\n

2. which human rights and environmental standards must be taken into account by companies in this context?<\/h3>\n

The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act obliges German companies to comply with internationally recognized human rights abroad as well. This includes, for example, the right to physical integrity, the prohibition of forced and child labor and the right to health. With regard to the environmental standards to be observed, the locally applicable regulations on environmental protection and individual environmental standards from international agreements apply. <\/p>\n

3. which companies are affected by the Supply Chain Act?<\/h3>\n

The law will be introduced in stages, starting on 01.01.2023. Initially, German companies with more than 3000 employees will be affected. From 01.01.2024, the scope will be extended to companies with more than 1000 employees. Even if smaller companies (SMEs) are not yet directly covered by the Supply Chain Act, they can be required to implement due diligence obligations as suppliers to affected companies. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\t

Implement the Supply Chain Act in a future-proof way: with a holistic, risk-oriented approach. Find out more in the whitepaper. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

4. What are companies liable for?<\/h3>\n

Companies should not only take responsibility for damage caused by themselves, but also for damage caused along the supply chain by subsidiaries, important business partners or suppliers. Transparency within the supply chain is therefore more important than ever before. In principle, however, companies are only liable for damage where they have acted negligently or deliberately breached their duty of care. <\/p>\n

5. must business relationships be terminated in the event of violations?<\/h3>\n

That is not the goal. The primary aim is to permanently anchor awareness of human rights and environmental protection measures within the supplier companies. Business relationships are only to be terminated completely if a serious human rights violation has been identified that persists even after a deadline has been set. <\/p>\n

6. What does the Supply Chain Act mean for the competitiveness of affected companies?<\/h3>\n

The Supply Chain Act will bring more fairness to competition. At present, companies that act conscientiously are at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies that act irresponsibly due to higher costs. This is to be prevented with uniform rules for all. <\/p>\n

7. What impact can the LkSG have in the producing countries?<\/h3>\n

The Supply Chain Act is primarily intended to protect local people. The legislation is intended to improve working conditions for employees in production facilities, as companies are then obliged to comply with social and environmental standards. Residents living in the vicinity of the factories will also benefit if, for example, they are no longer allowed to exceed certain exhaust emission values. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\t

8. Who controls the law?<\/h3>\n

Compliance with and implementation of the law is monitored by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA)<\/a>. Companies are obliged to submit their report at least four months after the end of the financial year. In addition, the authority has the possibility, among other things, to specify concrete actions to companies, summon persons, demand information and impose fines of up to EUR 50,000 for enforcement. <\/p>\n

9. What penalties do companies have to fear?<\/h3>\n

Failure to comply with the legal obligations could result in fines of up to 8 million euros, or 2% of annual global turnover for companies with an annual turnover of more than 400 million euros. For the time being, the German law does not provide for civil liability, although this is likely to change with legislation at European level. <\/p>\n

10. how can the VERSO Supply Chain Platform simplify the implementation of the LkSG?<\/h3>\n

Recurring requirements such as risk analyses<\/a>, implementation of preventive measures or the annual reporting obligation are effort drivers for purchasing, as they require the collection and evaluation of supplier data. With the automation of the VERSO Supply Chain Platform, considerable resources can be saved and an efficient, holistic implementation of the LkSG and all ESG topics can be guaranteed. The VERSO Supply Chain Platform enables a future-proof approach with which purchasing organizations are also optimally prepared for future requirements such as the CSRD and the EU Supply Chain Act. Contact us<\/a> to find out how VERSO can help you capture the necessary data in your supply chain, qualify suppliers and provide the necessary reporting metrics with minimal effort. <\/p>\n
