ESG, LkSG & CSDDD: What is important now and how Sedex + SMETA create transparency in the supply chain

ESG regulations are evolving rapidly, and companies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate effective due diligence and transparency within their supply chains. In light of the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG), which has already come into force, the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the forthcoming EU Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD), many organisations are asking themselves the same question: What is most important right now, and how can we prepare for the developments ahead?

In this webinar, Niklas Gatermann, lawyer and Senior Associate at Reuschlaw, provides a practical overview of the current legal landscape. He outlines the key requirements of the LkSG and the CSRD, highlight the expectations of regulatory authorities, and explain what companies need to focus on today to remain compliant and future-proof in light of the CSDDD.

Hear from our Sedex experts, who show how the SMETA audit methodology, combined with the platform, can effectively support companies in meeting due diligence and transparency requirements. This session demonstrates how Sedex enables supply chain mapping, risk identification and data-driven insights, thereby helping companies to implement legal requirements, strengthen their ESG performance and support compliance with the LkSG, CSRD and future EU legislation.^{This event is in German}
