German Supply Chain Act reforms and EU GSP+: What SL’s exporters need to know

Colombo will host a timely and high-level discussion on the latest reforms to the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG) and its intersection with the EU GSP+ programme and the upcoming EU supply chain law.

The session, led by Markus Léning, Founder and Managing Director of Léning — Human Rights and Responsible Business and former German Human Rights Commissioner, will take place on September 12, 2025, at Atrium, Cinnamon Grand.

The German government recently published a draft amendment to the LkSG, introducing two key changes:

> The abolition of the reporting obligation, previously suspended by BAFA but now legally confirmed.

> A narrowing of sanction mechanisms, applying only to companies that neglect preventive or remedial measures or fail to set up complaint mechanisms.
