For companies like the CLASSEN Group with a \u201cclean\u201d supply chain - such as in the procurement of raw materials and production of CERAMIN<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tr\u00e4gerplatten &#8211; bietet das LkSG eine gro\u00dfe Chance. Sie f\u00f6rdert kurze und transparente Lieferwege sowie die Zusammenarbeit von Unternehmen im EU-Wirtschaftsraum &#8211; sofern Verbraucher Wert auf ethisch einwandfreie und umweltfreundliche Produkte legen. Konkret stellt sich etwa die Frage, ob Verbrauchern bewusst ist, dass bei der Fertigung von PVC-haltigen Bodenbel\u00e4gen mitunter uigurische Zwangsarbeiter in China <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have been used.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because supply chain transparency is in our interest, we make a considerable effort to record and ensure compliance with the requirements defined in the LkSG. In total, we have recorded and analyzed our more than 2,000 suppliers. Despite the debate about weakening the LkSG against the backdrop of the forthcoming<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haufe.de\/sustainability\/debatte\/csddd-ist-verabschiedet_575768_618564.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">applicable EU Directive on Corporate Sustainability Duties (CSDDD)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we will continue to adhere to this procedure - especially as the CSDDD will not take effect for the CLASSEN Group until 2029 as things stand. Although the new regulation means an even greater effort than the German LkSG, we have already laid an important foundation stone with the successful implementation of the German guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70ac236 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70ac236\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Avoid uncertainty with political foresight and binding guidelines<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-845e022 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"845e022\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our view, the current discussion about weakening or even overturning the LkSG comes at completely the wrong time - and in any case far too late. As already described, large companies have been obliged to implement the law since January 1, 2023 and larger SMEs since January 1, 2024. The broader SME sector is also increasingly preparing for the LkSG and is actively working on implementing the law. Discussing negative consequences afterwards, such as the time and financial capacities that companies will have to provide, creates uncertainty and diminishes the attractiveness of Germany as a business location.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, we have secured an important competitive advantage by (over)fulfilling the legal requirements defined in the LkSG. Customers and business partners are already aware of the value-driven business practices of the entire CLASSEN Group. What is important for the procurement of raw materials and production of CERAMIN<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bel\u00e4ge gilt, hat auch f\u00fcr unsere Laminatproduktion Bestand \u2013 etwa mit Blick auf die<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osapiens.com\/de\/esg-loesungen\/eudr\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By consciously deciding to use only wood from sustainable forestry, and generally from the immediate vicinity, we have created a very good basis for meeting the requirements defined in the EUDR. In our view, it is incomprehensible that the EU is now discussing whether the law is not too tough and should be overturned while we are in the middle of implementing the directive. Ultimately, this is about reducing global deforestation and protecting primary forests. For the CLASSEN Group, this was, is and will remain an important aspect when it comes to protecting the livelihoods of future generations. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d8ccba e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0d8ccba\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90e8fd0 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"90e8fd0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92cecdb e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"92cecdb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29e7f67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29e7f67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Warum wir und unsere Lieferanten die Standards \u00fcbererf\u00fcllen<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5570981 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5570981\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsere Kunden haben mit dem LkSG die M\u00f6glichkeit, die Beschaffung und Fertigung der CLASSEN-Gruppe transparent \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen zu k\u00f6nnen.

Grunds\u00e4tzlich macht das LkSG eine Risikoanalyse und eine entsprechende Sorge um eine Nachbesserung bei einem entsprechenden Risikoscoring erforderlich. Bei der Umsetzung hilft uns die Softwarel\u00f6sung von<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osapiens.com\/de\/esg-loesungen\/lksg\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osapiens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Mitgr\u00fcnder &amp; CPO Matthias Jungblut hat uns im Gepr\u00e4ch weitere Einblicke gegeben. Der Anbieter erfasst unsere Zulieferunternehmen und ermittelt ein Scoring auf einer Skala von 0 (tadellos) bis 6 (schlechter geht es nicht). Osapiens empfiehlt grunds\u00e4tzlich eine tiefergehende Risikoanalyse ab einem Scoring von 4,5. Die CLASSEN-Gruppe nimmt diese bereits ab einem Scoring von 2 vor. Gerade einmal 14 unserer weit mehr als 2.000 Lieferanten wurden so zu entsprechenden Abfragen und Nachweisen verpflichtet, um so unseren und den gesetzlichen Anspr\u00fcchen Gen\u00fcge zu leisten.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Das zeigt einmal mehr, wie wertvoll die Zusammenarbeit mit Lieferanten aus dem europ\u00e4ischen Wirtschaftsraum ist.

Das Risiko Scoring liegt in solchen F\u00e4llen ohne weitere Details per se bei mindestens 3,34. Wie dann mit Verst\u00f6\u00dfen auf Lieferantenseite, etwa in puncto Arbeitssicherheit, Umweltschutz, Kinder- oder Zwangsarbeit umgegangen wird und wie sichergestellt werden soll, dass diese abgeschafft werden, bleibt fraglich.
