The proposed European Supply Chain Directive and various statutes in EU countries are designed to monitor and enforce a system to prevent violations of environmental, global warming and human rights statutes. These require EU companies to audit their products and services providers along the entire global supply chain, including all direct and indirect business relationships.
Many US companies will become directly or indirectly subject to scrutiny, compliance and burdens from this Directive and its implementation, as well as current statutes.
At an applied level companies must have a detailed illustration of their existing supplier arrangements. Businesses that are well primed now will have the best prospect of successfully implementing global agreements to comply with these complex, expansive, and potentially conflicting supply chain due-diligence laws.
Join us October 12 2022 when we will outline the latest developments of the EU Supply Chain Directive and Key Elements of the EU, German, French, Netherlands and UK laws. We will address how to prepare for the new regulatory requirements including:
- Obligations, directors’ duties, civil liability and sanctions.
- Who does the EU Supply Chain Law apply to?
- How will the Directive impact small and mid-sized companies?
- How can you assess your supply chain for a preliminary analysis of operations?
- Are there high-priority sector lists and how to address them?
A networking reception will immediately follow this program.
