Consulting in the area of ESG/sustainability
Supply chain management: sustainable, secure, future-proof
Supply chains are under particular scrutiny today: customers, investors, and legislators expect transparency regarding the conditions under which products are manufactured and the risks along the value chain. Professional supply chain management helps you meet these requirements, identify risks early on, and make your supply chains resilient and future-proof.
A key legal component is the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) , which obligates companies above a certain size to fulfill human rights and environmental due diligence obligations. However, we not only support you in the legally compliant implementation of the LkSG, but also provide comprehensive guidance in establishing and developing effective supply chain management.
Our consulting services: We support you throughout your entire supply chain
Whether it's risk analysis , supplier management , building internal structures or the concrete implementation of legal requirements : We support you with a comprehensive range of consulting services for sustainable and legally compliant supply chain management.

Leveraging synergies: Integrating the requirements of the Supply Chain Act into existing structures
Does your company already operate an environmental management system or are you planning to implement one? Take advantage of synergies! We can help you integrate the LkSG requirements step by step into the elements of your existing management system:
For example, you can expand your existing environmental policy to include a policy statement on due diligence obligations in the supply chain . Similarly, you can extend your risk and opportunity analysis to include supply chain-specific risks, thereby fulfilling the requirement for regular risk analysis.
Do you need more legal certainty for your company?
Beyond compliance with the Supply Chain Act, we support you on your path to a legally compliant organization through compliance audits and workshops on environmental, energy, and occupational safety topics. Further information can be found in the Compliance section.
Further information on the Supply Chain Act can be found on the website of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
