Human rights and environmental due diligence obligations are a focus of our ESG services. We advise on the Act on Due Diligence in the Supply Chain (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG), which entered into force on 1 January 2023 and will apply to various companies from 1 January 2024, as well as on the proposed EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Clients include companies directly affected by the Act, as well as their suppliers. In 2022, we once again proved our expertise in this area, publishing the first comprehensive commentary on the Act.
Sustainable corporate governance and contractual compliance with the Act are further focuses of our work.
