The Corona pandemic has exacerbated supply chain difficulties. More than ever, restructuring and modernization of the entire supply chain is needed. Added to this are the sometimes inhumane environmental and working conditions along the supply chain. To create sustainability and transparency, the new supply chain due diligence law came into force on January 1, 2023. In addition, the EU is working on further supply chain-related requirements that will soon take effect.
With our topic page "Supply Chain", we would like to keep you up to date with the latest developments and information offers on the area of supply chain, so that you know at an early stage what you can do as a company or what you are obliged to do.
