Supply Chain Assessment
by the German Institute for Sustainability and Economy
Your path to transparency, security, and legal compliance – with the German Institute for Sustainability and Economy.
Critical media reports, increasing requirements due to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and growing expectations from customers, partners, and investors – many companies face the challenge of making their supply chains sustainable, transparent, and legally compliant. But where do you begin with the assessment of complex, internationally branched supply chains?
The German Institute for Sustainability and Economy, based in Münster, offers you a professional, structured, and legally compliant supply chain assessment. Whether you are a medium-sized enterprise or a public institution – we identify risks, ensure data quality, and support you on your way to ESG-compliant procurement.

You benefit from:

- Practical assessments with industry-specific adaptation
- Current standards according to the LkSG – regularly updated
- Audit-proof documentation of your due diligence obligations
