Abstract
- The German Law on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations for the Prevention of Human Rights Violations in Supply Chains (LkSG, in German), which entered into force in 2023, is an essential reference as it elevates due diligence standards and principles in human rights and environmental matters to legal responsibilities, making them binding and enforceable. The application of this law is particularly important in Latin America and the Caribbean, since the region is a relevant trading partner for Germany, and this legislation is expected to have a significant impact on the supply chains of the automotive, energy and raw materials sectors, where German companies hold a strong presence.
