Supplier Improvement Checks
Beyond audits, towards compliance
Background
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, fostering strong business partnerships is not just advantageous – but critical for success. However, as regulatory and consumer demands shift, companies must go beyond mere transactions and prioritise ethical conduct.
Making efforts to check the sustainability practices of business partners is not only an obligation but also a strategic imperative. By examining and vetting their suppliers, companies can proactively identify potential risks linked to their business activities.

In an increasingly interconnected world, the global supply chain has transformed into a complex web, intertwining economies and businesses across continents. While this interconnectivity has fueled growth and innovation, it has also brought to the forefront critical issues related to human rights and environmental protection. The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG) and the upcoming EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) reflect a significant shift towards more responsible business practices, highlighting the need for effective due diligence process in supply chains.
