_German Supply Chain Act

CLAYSTON cooperates with TÜV AUSTRIA to implement the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCA / LkSG) requirements. With our two-vison approach, we can ensure that companies' suppliers respect human rights and protect the environment. We do this by looking twice: first on-site at the suppliers and second in the company itself.
