Guest Article on the CSDDD in Compliance Manager Magazine

Kevla’s CEO Sebastian Britz shares his expertise in Compliance Manager, one of Germany’s leading industry magazines for compliance professionals. In his article, Britz examines the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and its impact on companies across the EU.

While the recent mitigation of the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) has provided temporary relief, the CSDDD introduces a new wave of regulatory obligations, including broader environmental and human rights requirements, expanded reporting duties, and indirect effects on SMEs.

Britz emphasizes that, despite extended deadlines, the requirements remain complex and reputational risks for non-compliance are high. His central message: without digital support, legal compliance will be nearly impossible to achieve.
