The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) came into effect on January 1, 2023. It initially applies to companies and branches based in Germany with at least 3,000 employees, and from January 1, 2024, also to those with at least 1,000 employees.
The purpose of the Act is to hold companies accountable for violations of human rights and environmental obligations within their global value chains. It establishes a legal framework aimed at improving international human rights standards and promoting responsible corporate governance.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and requires us all to take action to protect our environment. Companies also have a responsibility to make their contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is not only required by regulatory requirements, but is also increasingly expected by the many stakeholders of companies, such as investors, employees and customers.
Since a significant proportion of emissions are usually generated in the upstream in the supply chain, corporate procurement plays a crucial role. Wer help you to make the emissions along your company's value chain transparent. We identify hot-spots, derive reduction paths and implement long-term decarbonization strategies together with the parties involved.
