The proposed German law on due diligence in supply chains, “Lieferkettengesetz” (LKG) is planned to come into force in 2023. The law obliges German companies to be legally accountable for their global supply chain.
PFI Fareast, a sustainable supply chain solutions provider with a long history of 65 years in the industry, and cads, the cooperation for assuring defined standards for shoe and leather goods production are jointly organising the conference. “Guide to Lieferkettengesetz – Building Responsible Global Supply Chains” will take place on Thursday 20th May at 09:00 am CEST/ 03:00 pm HKT.
The online conference will bring together advisors from the German government, NGOs, brands, associations and thought leaders, to provide attendees valuable insights into the German Due Diligence Law. The event will be entirely free to attend, but registration is required.
Throughout the virtual conference, attendees will hear from industry leaders, experts and stakeholders about the changes to the market landscape and potential opportunities brought by the German Due Diligence Law. Together they will discuss the challenges and outline recommendations for its global implementation.
