LegalTegrity Webinar: "LkSG & CSDDD"
The German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) is now two years old. Some companies have already implemented it, while for others it is still pending. And the next challenge is already looming with the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
How can companies implement the requirements of the LKSG?
What adjustments will be necessary for the CSDDD in the future?
In this webinar, we aim to encourage the sharing of experiences and help companies avoid reinventing the wheel.
Agenda:
- Legal classification and outlook:
- Ulrich Hagel, Partner & Lawyer, HWCL Hagel Wiedmann Compliance & Legal
- Case studies from practice by:
- Florian Schäfer, Group General Counsel & CCO, Leica Camera AG
- Verena Christina Thumann-Prochazka, General Legal Counsel & Compliance Officer, Wera Werkzeuge GmbH
- Implementation with digital tools:
- Dr Thomas Altenbach, CEO, LegalTegrity
In the webinar, experienced corporate representatives from German SMEs and a specialised legal advisor will report on practical experiences with the LkSG and their approach to the CSDDD.
This webinar is aimed at interested parties such as decision-makers and (compliance) officers who wish to ensure efficient and legally compliant handling of the LkSG and the CSDDD.
