Manage risks with the BISS/CAIGO software—the comprehensive solution in the cloud!
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), which is still in force, will be replaced at the EU level by the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD, also: CS3D). This directive includes the requirements of the LkSG and even goes further.
With BISS/CAIGO you keep the overview!
This is how BISS/CAIGO supports you in implementing risk management
In brief: The procedure
Knowing the human rights and environmental risks in your own supply chain is key to fulfilling due diligence obligations. The procedure: First, an abstract risk analysis is carried out: In which countries and sectors are there generally which risks? This is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG goals) and 17 ESG criteria. In the next step, the supply partners are subjected to a concrete risk assessment. These are identified using questionnaires.
Companies can use suitable and appropriate contractual agreements to ensure that the supplier introduces measures to avoid identified risks in the future. The philosophy of the LkSG is based on the idea of cooperation between companies within the supply chain. It is important to note that "the LkSG does not establish independent liability standards between contractual partners along the supply chain. Obligated companies should flank contractual assurances with control measures, training and further education on their own responsibility."
(www.bafa.de, page 5)
If risks have been identified in a specific individual case, a proposal for remedial measures should be developed in close consultation with the supply partner in accordance with the criteria of appropriateness and effectiveness.
In this context, it is worth noting that "companies do not have to guarantee that their supply chains are free from risks to and violations of human rights or adverse effects on the environment as part of the duty of care stipulated by the LkSG. Rather, they must be able to prove that they have implemented the due diligence obligations described in more detail in Sections 4 to 10 LkSG."
(www.bafa.de, page 1f.; emphasis added by us)
The companies affected by the LkSG are obliged to establish a procedure that is accessible at all times and protects the confidentiality of the identity of whistleblowers.
