THE CHALLENGE
Does this sound familiar?
The reporting obligation under the LkSG is set to be dropped. Risk management, the annual risk analysis, prevention and remediation remain mandatory, and your customers ask about them.
Customers pass on their duties
Even if you have fewer than 1,000 employees: your customers ask about your risk analysis.
No basis when it matters
When a complaint comes in, you need to show what you checked and when.
THE SOLUTION
From supplier list to measure, in one workflow
You prioritize your suppliers, assess concrete risks with a question catalog and record measures in the same place.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the LkSG
Who is affected by the LkSG?
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) applies to companies with at least 1,000 employees in Germany. Smaller companies are affected indirectly if they supply large companies that pass their duties on along the supply chain.
What is changing with the LkSG?
The German government plans to abolish the reporting obligation, also retroactively, and to impose fines only for serious violations. The due diligence duties remain. In the long term, the LkSG will be replaced by the transposition of the EU supply chain directive CSDDD.
What is the difference between an abstract and a concrete risk analysis?
The abstract risk analysis estimates risks by country and industry, without surveying individual suppliers. The concrete risk analysis assesses, for prioritized suppliers, which risks actually exist and which measures are needed.
Does Code Gaia replace legal advice on the LkSG?
No. Code Gaia structures your risk analysis and measures. The software does not replace legal advice on the LkSG.
