Supply Chain Due Diligence

Regulatory requirements such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) or national and European supply chain laws (e.g. LkSG, CSDDD) are increasing the pressure on companies to systematically identify and manage social and environmental risks along the entire value chain. At the same time, investors, customers, and partners expect clear transparency and concrete actions. Our approach helps companies align compliance with strategic objectives—in a practical, efficient manner tailored to their specific supply chain.

Frequently asked questions

To conduct a thorough analysis, we examine all stakeholders and stages of your value chain—from development through manufacturing and distribution to service and disposal. To do this, we need information about your products and services, your existing supplier structures, and your relevant business partners. This data foundation enables us to systematically identify risks and create transparency throughout your entire supply chain. The internal effort involved depends on supply chain complexity and data availability, but remains clearly structured and predictable.

Even if only direct suppliers are known, we conduct a risk-based analysis of deeper supply chain levels (e.g., Tier 2 or Tier 3). For this purpose, we consider country, raw material, and industry risks that point to typical problem areas such as human rights violations, environmental breaches, or corruption risks. Our assessment incorporates recognized risk indices, ESG data, scientific studies, and industry reports as a data basis. This results in a realistic and resilient risk profile—even with limited data depth.

We compare your existing structures and processes with the requirements of relevant laws and standards—for example, the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), or the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Based on this, we identify gaps and prioritize areas for action. You receive a clear roadmap to achieve regulatory compliance step by step.

Based on the risk assessment, we work with you to develop tailored preventive and remedial measures aligned with your ESG and compliance risks. We provide hands-on support for implementation through workshops, training, and change management measures to ensure that due diligence obligations are sustainably embedded in your company. We integrate existing mechanisms—such as whistleblower or grievance systems—seamlessly into your overall management.

Yes, absolutely. Even without a legal obligation, companies benefit from a structured supply chain analysis. They increase transparency, reduce operational and reputational risks, and improve their sustainability performance. Furthermore, customers, business partners, and investors increasingly expect reliable ESG information. Proactive engagement with due diligence therefore creates a tangible competitive advantage and strengthens your market position in the long term.
