What is GSCDDA?

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (GSCDDA), formally called the Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG), is a German law designed to ensure businesses respect human rights and environmental standards across their global supply chains.

It requires in-scope companies to identify, prevent and address human rights and environmental risks throughout their own operations and their supply chains — from direct suppliers through to more remote tiers where risk is elevated.

Global PCCS supports companies with LkSG compliance assessment, human rights and environmental risk evaluation, policy and procedure development, risk mitigation, grievance mechanisms, supplier assessment, documentation and reporting, and awareness training.
