It later becomes public that child labour is being used there. What happens next? Since 1 January 2023, this can have serious legal consequences for German companies — because the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG) is now in force. Procurement \u0026amp; Vendor Management (LkSG) is no longer a purely operational topic. It has become a core compliance responsibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe LkSG requires companies above a certain size to identify, assess, and minimise human rights and environmental risks across their entire supply chain. Anyone working in procurement, supply chain management, or compliance now carries more responsibility than ever before. Violations can result in significant fines, exclusion from public procurement procedures, and serious reputational damage. At the same time, EU-level requirements are intensifying — with the CSRD and the planned EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) on the horizon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis course gives you the knowledge and practical tools you need in this rapidly evolving landscape. You will learn the legal foundations of the LkSG, how to systematically analyse supply chain risks, and how to build and maintain LkSG-compliant procurement processes. The course combines legal expertise with hands-on implementation — ideal for both newcomers and experienced professionals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Procurement \u0026amp; Vendor Management (LkSG)\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/6904\/3277\/files\/Procurement_Vendor_Management_LkSG_1024x1024.webp?v=1779341775\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"German Compliance Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53952736166221,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/6904\/3277\/files\/Procurement_VendorManagement_LkSG.webp?v=1779341750","url":"https:\/\/germancomplianceinstitute.com\/products\/procurement-vendor-management-lksg","provider":"German Compliance Institute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
