This webinar is held in German.
This seminar focuses on the significance of the LkSG for companies in the German SME sector that are often not directly subject to it. What requirements does the law impose on such companies despite the smaller number of employees? To what extent can obligated companies pass on their responsibility in the supply chain and where are the limits in this respect? Specific recommendations for cooperation in the supply chain explicitly for suppliers that are not directly obligated as well as current developments at European level, which may extend the scope of application to significantly more companies in the future, are also examined.
