Previously, we have posted on the German Supply Chain Act on Corporate Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains. That legislation is now in effect, as of January 1, 2023, and requires companies that have their central administration, their principal place of business, or any branch with over 3,000 employees in Germany to implement specific risk management practices to detect and combat child labor, forced labor, poor environmental practices, and other problematic issues. Our German supply chain team has published an update on what is required. Please access it here.
