Webinar: Global Supply Chain Acts - Opportunities & Risks
Global supply chains employ more than 450 million people, 73 million of them children alone. German companies alone generated sales of 1.09 trillion euros in imports in 2018 (Source: BMZ).
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs initiated the German Supply Chain Act, which has stepped into force 1. January 2023. It is intended to
- define what obligations companies have in protecting human rights,
- how companies can meet them in their supply chains,
- require companies to report on their efforts,
- strengthen workers' rights in court, and open a pathway,
- assert claims for damages in Germany.
In addition to that, the EU itself is also working on a similar approach and many other countries worldwide have already set up laws and acts or are in the process of setting the requirements.
Our webinar looks at the Supply Chain Act from different perspectives.
