The current issue of ZURe (p. 20 ff.) contains a guest article by KPMG Law Partner Thomas Uhlig (Head of General Business and Commercial Law), Thomas Lohwasser (Associate) and Christine Heeg-Weimann.
The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), which obliges companies with at least 3,000 employees to check their supply chains for human rights and environmental violations, has been in force in Germany for a year now. But what about the implementation and monitoring of the law? In this article, our KPMG Law experts take a look at the role of the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) as the competent supervisory authority and the experience to date with the implementation of the LkSG.
