Resumen The Act obliges enterprises with their head office, principal place of business, administrative headquarters, registered office or branches in Germany with at least 3,000 employees within Germany (decreasing to 1,000 employees as of January 1st 2024) to respect human rights by implementing certain due diligence obligations relating to their whole supply chain, including contractual partners and other (indirect) suppliers. Enterprises need to introduce and effectively implement an appropriate risk management system in the whole supply chain and across all key internal business processes. In particular, they must carry out a risk analysis and take preventive and remedial action. In addition, enterprises must set up a complaints procedure that allows those who are directly affected, as well as those who are aware of possible violations, to report human rights risks and violations. Enterprises must submit an annual report to the competent public authority on how they are meeting their due diligence obligations. Texto completo Alemán Página web www.bgbl.de
