As the BAFA informs on its website, the BAFA will only check the reports of companies in accordance with the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and monitor their publication for the first time from 1 January 2026. Although the reports are actually due before this date, BAFA will not impose any penalties if the reports are submitted by 31 December 2025 at the latest. Please note: However, compliance with the other due diligence obligations and their monitoring remain in place and are not affected by this regulation.
According to the BME, the new postponement is taking place against the background of the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD): the German government had announced its intention to avoid double reporting obligations.
