The announced abolition of the German Supply Chain Act by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been criticized by sustainability experts. In an interview with Table.Briefings, Lisa Fröhlich, Professor of Strategic and Sustainable Procurement and founder of the think tank Ispira, calls on politicians to „keep their hands off the law.“ In her opinion, the Supply Chain Act even gives local companies a competitive advantage. „Because it means companies have to look at their supply chains – that’s necessary. Because only those who know their supply chains can determine and influence their impact. This applies to CO2 emissions as well as human rights in the supply chain,“ said Fröhlich.
