Ressourcenverbrauch durch LkSG-Compliance-Administratlon
Definition
The research indicates that ~30% of surveyed companies (1,000–3,000 employees) had been implementing LkSG for ~10 months at survey time and described the process as 'complex and resource-intensive.' Integration of indirect suppliers (sub-tier vendors not directly contracted) requires mapping, questionnaires, follow-up, and evidence collection. Without automation, order fulfillment delays emerge when supply chain staff are pulled into compliance investigations or audit preparation. Queues in shipping/fulfillment result from delayed supplier approvals and compliance holds.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Opportunity cost: 2–5 FTE months/year (€8,000–20,000/month = €16,000–100,000 annualized); Lost order processing during audit cycles (10–15 FTE weeks/year = €40,000–60,000 in delayed/missed fulfillment); Expedited shipping due to compliance delays: €0.50–2.00 per unit on 10,000–50,000 annual units = €5,000–100,000
- Frequency: Continuous (daily compliance communications); Cyclical (annual audit preparation cycles); Event-driven (supplier escalations trigger investigations)
- Root Cause: LkSG implementation burden underestimated at transition (Jan 2023/2024); insufficient pre-training or change management; lack of prioritization/automation visibility
