Workshop Description:

This session delves into the practical lessons learned from the implementation of Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and explores the implications of the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Through real-world examples and expert insights, participants will uncover strategies for integrating human rights and environmental considerations into business operations effectively.

The workshop will provide a step-by-step overview of meaningful due diligence processes, from risk assessment to stakeholder engagement and remediation. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to go beyond compliance to create tangible, positive impacts on people and communities affected by business activities.

Key discussion points will include:

  • Lessons learned and practical insights from aligning corporate practices with LkSG requirements and preparing for the CSDDD.
  • Developing robust mechanisms for identifying and addressing human rights risks.
  • Building internal and external stakeholder trust through transparent and collaborative approaches.
  • Leveraging due diligence as a tool for driving sustainability and long-term value creation.


This interactive session is ideal for corporate professionals, compliance officers, and sustainability leaders seeking actionable insights to navigate evolving regulatory landscapes while driving a meaningful change.
