Due diligence obligations include, among others, the prohibition of child labor, protection against slavery and forced labor, freedom from discrimination, protection against unlawful land confiscation, occupational health and safety, prohibition of the withholding of a fair wage, the right to form trade unions, prohibition of causing harmful soil or water contamination, and protection against torture. Certain environmental risks must also be taken into account.<\/p><h2><strong>What precautions must affect companies take?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The due diligence obligations of companies include:<\/p><ul><li>Establishing a risk management system and conducting a risk analysis.<\/li><li>Adopting a policy statement of corporate human rights strategy<\/li><li>Anchoring preventive measures<\/li><li>Immediately taking corrective action in the event of identified violations of the law<\/li><li>Establishment of a complaint\u2019s procedure<\/li><li>Documentation and reporting requirements for compliance with due diligence obligations.<\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>What does the new law mean for foreign suppliers? <\/strong><\/h2><p>If smaller companies are direct suppliers to companies covered by the law, then they may be contractually obligated to implement due diligence processes.<\/p><p>However, many obligations under the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act cannot, by their nature, be passed on. For example, even if a large buyer covered by the Act requires a smaller supplier to analyze risks to some extent, it is not subject to reporting and disclosure obligations to the authority and the public. Nor would he have to reckon with control measures or sanctions.<\/p><p>Author: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graulaw.eu\/en\/team-members\/adriana-grau\/\">Adriana Grau<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ac643b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9ac643b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8af4432\" data-id=\"8af4432\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92aebd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"92aebd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cef9ce7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cef9ce7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.graulaw.eu\/en\/expertise\/\">Grau Rechtsanw\u00e4lte PartGmbB<\/a> offers legal support in day-to-day business, especially for foreign companies operating in Germany or suppliers of German companies &#8211;
