Find out why Lebenshilfe Offenburg-Oberkirch chose the LkSG solution and the advantages of this decision.
The challenges of dealing with the Supply Chain Act
The introduction of the Supply Chain Act presents companies with various challenges. It requires close monitoring and documentation of the entire supply chain to ensure that no human rights violations or environmental damage occur. In addition, companies must carefully check their suppliers to ensure that they meet the requirements of the law.
For Lebenshilfe Offenburg-Oberkirch e.V., Albert-Schweitzer Werkstätten (ASW + W gGmbH) and Inklusionsbetrieb iD gGmbH, a group of companies that support people with disabilities, this poses an additional challenge. As they work with various suppliers and service providers to fulfill their tasks, compliance with the Supply Chain Act can be a complex task.
To effectively address these challenges, Lebenshilfe Offenburg chose Scopewire Data's LkSG solution. This solution enables comprehensive reporting that meets the requirements of the Supply Chain Act while reducing the administrative burden.

Experiences and successes since the implementation of the LkSG solution
The LkSG solution from Scopewire Data GmbH is currently being introduced step by step and integrated into existing work processes. An initial success was the creation of an overview of the current suppliers and their corresponding risks after the introduction. The downstream processes for prevention and remediation are being defined and implemented together with Scopewire. The plan is to implement complaints management in the near future, both technically and in the work processes.
The overarching goal is to integrate the entire process into purchasing and to eliminate certain risks in the run-up to supplier selection and onboarding. This is emphasized by Achim Feyhl, CEO of Lebenshilfe Offenburg e.V. The implementation of the Supply Chain Sustainability Act (LkSG) is a component of the sustainability strategy, which aims to make the Group climate-neutral by 2030.
