What is due diligence?
Due diligence is the systematic review and assessment of a company's business activities and their impact on people and the environment. In a sustainable supply chain, it means taking responsibility for identifying, assessing, and addressing human rights and environmental risks. This includes uncovering and mitigating issues like forced labor, child labor, or pollution, strengthening trust and minimizing legal and reputational risks. Key steps in the due diligence process:
- Risk management: Identifying and assessing risks across the supply chain.
- Preventive and remedial measures: Implementing actions to prevent or address violations.
- Monitoring and reporting: Regularly reviewing and publicly reporting on progress and outcomes.
Relevant laws for a sustainable supply chain: LkSG and CSDDD
Supply chain due diligence has gained importance due to growing consumer demand for ethical products and stricter legal requirements. Governments are introducing laws to ensure human rights and environmental standards in supply chains. Key regulations include national and international ones, like:
- EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD): Expected from 2025, it will apply to EU-based companies and those with significant EU business, expanding due diligence to include environmental and climate protection.
- German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG): Effective January 2024, it mandates companies in Germany with over 1,000 employees to implement due diligence measures, including risk analysis, preventive actions, and reporting.
Why is supply chain due diligence so important for companies?
Supply chain due diligence is vital for ensuring long-term sustainability.
- Legal compliance: Laws like LkSG and CSDDD require adherence to social and environmental standards, protecting companies from fines and legal issues.
- Reputation protection: Identifying risks early prevents association with unethical suppliers and shields against public criticism.
- Cost savings: Sustainable supply chains reduce disruptions and inefficiencies, preventing costly delays or production stoppages.
- Meeting stakeholder expectations: Customers and investors demand transparent, ethical supply chains, enhancing trust and competitiveness.
- Supply chain resilience: Proactive risk management mitigates external threats, such as geopolitical issues or natural disasters, ensuring stability.
