German business has already been very active for many years in taking notice of its CSR and sustainability activities in global supply chains Many - especially larger - German companies have set up their own CSR/sustainability departments in recent years. Thus, especially in large companies, more and more employees are working directly in the CSR/sustainability area. However, many small and medium-sized companies have also taken measures in the area of CSR in recent years. As part of their CSR/sustainability strategy, many companies have also taken concrete measures to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
