We hereby like to draw your attention to the legal summary prepared by our colleague, dr. Levente Varga attorney at law on the provisions of the new German Supply Chain Act ("LkSG"), with particular regard to the following legal aspects:

  • What kind of strict regulations does the law contain in terms of reviewing the complete supply chain?
  • What human rights and environmental protection standards does the law require to be observed at international level?
  • Why is it important for Hungarian companies to check compliance with the provisions of the LkSG?
  • Which companies are subject to or concerned by the provisions of this law? in what way could this law affect the daily operations of Hungarian companies?
  • What are the new tasks of the companies concerned (those operating as German subsidiaries, trading partners or suppliers)
  • How can we help our affected customers to comply with the new rules?: listing due diligence obligations, developing responsible corporate governance principles and appropriate environmental, labour and safety regulations.

Our colleague's detailed article in Hungarian language is available at the following link:
