The supply chain hurdles facing the mid-market.
Constant supplier stress — and still worried about LkSG / CSDDD? It doesn’t have to be this way.
Tenders require ESG evidence, banks demand supply chain transparency, and customers expect reliable data. But in day-to-day operations, there is simply no time to manually assess hundreds of suppliers, coordinate questionnaires, and document risks in a structured way.
The three biggest hurdles:
1. Supplier screening takes time you do not have. Every new supplier means sending questionnaires, following up on responses, reviewing evidence, and assessing risks. It quickly becomes a full-time job.
2. Compliance requirements are constantly changing. LkSG, CSDDD, EUDR — no sooner has one standard been implemented than new requirements emerge.
3. Without a central data foundation, supply chain management remains patchwork. Questionnaires sit in emails, spreadsheets are scattered across different drives, and evidence is stored across multiple systems. Plenty of data, zero clarity.
Without a system, supply chain management stays reactive. Risks only become visible when it is too late. Measures remain isolated actions instead of becoming part of a systematic management approach. And even though you know your supply chain is better positioned than that of your competitors, you cannot prove it. With leadity and IntegrityNext, you get a central solution to these challenges — one that understands not only your day-to-day business, but your suppliers as well.

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) requires companies to systematically assess human rights and environmental risks within the supply chain. The focus is particularly on risk analysis, the implementation of preventive and remedial measures, and robust documentation.
For companies, this means above all: identifying risks, assessing risks, implementing measures, and documenting progress in a transparent and traceable way.
The LkSG is primarily relevant for companies that fall directly under the legal requirements. At the same time, however, it also extends into the supply chain, because affected companies must obtain information and evidence from their suppliers.
That is why the topic is also relevant for companies that:
- are part of larger supply chains
- are asked by customers about risks and measures
- need to provide supplier data in a structured way
That is why robust supply chain management is often worthwhile even before any direct legal obligation applies.
leadity helps companies assess supply chain risks in a structured, well-founded and transparent way. To do this, numerous respected risk sources from the areas of environmental, social and economic risk are consolidated and turned into a clear basis for decision-making.
This is how leadity helps in practice:
- Systematically identify risks
- Assess suppliers and sites on a sound basis
- Prioritise high-risk cases
- Faster, audit-ready reporting
This turns a wide range of individual data points into a robust risk analysis with a clear focus on what requires action.
The LkSG is the German Supply Chain Act and governs due diligence obligations for companies in dealing with human rights and environmental risks in the supply chain. The CSDDD is the European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and pursues a similar objective at EU level.
Put simply:
- LkSG = national legal requirements in Germany
- CSDDD = European framework for corporate due diligence obligations
- Both aim to systematically identify and address risks in the supply chain.
For companies, it is therefore crucial to establish robust processes for risk analysis, measures management, and documentation.
Yes, companies can also create Product Carbon Footprints with leadity. The software supports a fast start and structured data collection, enabling product-specific emissions to be calculated precisely and efficiently.
This is particularly helpful when companies:
- want to build transparency around product-related emissions,
- need to meet customer requirements for CO2 data,
- want to gradually integrate primary data into their calculations.
Risk analyses provide the foundation — but the process only becomes effective through consistent implementation. That is why leadity supports companies in planning measures in a structured way,assigning responsibilities, and tracking progress transparently.
The focus is on:
- Measures management
- Progress tracking
- Documentation
- Effectiveness monitoring
In concrete terms, this means:
- Coordinate measures with suppliers.
- Assign tasks in a targeted way.
- Document progress systematically.
- Continuously track the impact on the risk assessment.
Effectiveness becomes transparent when measures are not only recorded, but consistently followed through during implementation. What matters is the link between measures management, progress tracking, and ongoing risk assessment.
Particularly important are:
- Clear responsibilities.
- Transparent status tracking.
- Structured documentation.
- Feedback into the risk assessment.
This makes it visible which measures have actually been implemented, how progress is developing, and whether risks are being reduced effectively as a result.
