Monitoring Capacity of Business and CSOs in relation to the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations Supply Chains (LkSG)
The project, supported by the German Federal Foreign Office and the German Consulate in Istanbul, and implemented in cooperation with the European Neighbourhood Council, aims to facilitate cooperation across German and Turkish civil society organisations, labour unions, public authorities and businesses (including SMEs) in order to guarantee the successful implementation of German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations Supply Chains (LkSG). The project also aims to advance mandatory HRDD legislation (with particular focus on LkSG) in Turkiye through contributing to awareness raising on the importance of responsible business conduct and capacity building of business actors and CSOs.

In the long term, the project aims to create a collaborative platform for business and civil society organisations to establish a dialogue between different stakeholders, targeting civil society organisations, trade unions and business actors with expertise and experience in different fields.
This will ensure that the full potential of the LkSG and other mandatory human rights due diligence legislation is realised in order to create a positive impact for business and workers in Türkiye and to guarantee human rights standards in business practices through utilising the expertise and know-how of its members.
