LkSG in der Praxis: Wie gehen Unternehmen am besten mit hohen Risiken um?

Let's be honest: Most companies subject to the Supply Chain Act identify risks within their own operations or among their suppliers. They often counteract these risks with certificates, seals, or codes of conduct. However, according to the legislator, such a schematic approach is no longer sufficient, especially when dealing with high-risk suppliers. Then it's time to get down to brass tacks: stakeholder engagement, audits, long-term supplier development, or changes to purchasing practices. Where are the limits of the duty of care in such measures? What requirements does the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) impose? What do investors demand? Experts Markus Löning, a human rights consultant and former human rights commissioner for the German Federal Government, and Sebastian Rünz offer insights into their consulting practice and illustrate what in-depth prevention and remediation measures can look like.
