German Supply Chain Act
Equip yourself with the necessary resources to adhere to the regulations outlined in the German Supply Chain Act and fulfill the increasing obligations for due diligence.
The Challenge
Identifying and overseeing GSCA compliance not only for primary suppliers but also for their tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers.
To adhere to the German Supply Chain Act, German businesses must conduct thorough due diligence across their supply chain network. The intricate web of supply chains, essential for delivering high-quality products promptly, now places a distinct demand on German companies to map out their entire supply chain landscape. This regulation introduces a fresh challenge for indirect suppliers, as they navigate through a new set of compliance requirements that could impact their standing and relationships with directly affected German firms.
