The SCDDA requires regulated enterprises to perform supply chain due diligence to identify, assess, prevent, and address risks to human rights (human rights risks) and environment-related risks.

The core requirement under the SCDDA is that enterprises within the scope of application are responsible for conducting due diligence across their entire supply chain to prevent, mitigate, or end risks related to human rights or the environment

In principle, the due diligence obligations under the SCDDA apply only to enterprises within the scope of the Act.

The Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) is the authority responsible for monitoring the implementation of the SCDDA as well as handling violations.

As a region with particular concern for human rights, environmental, social, and sustainable development issues, the European Union (EU) is among the first regions in the world to endorse the UNGP - a foundational document for the establishment of supply chain due diligence.
