Short answer
The LkSG is Germany's national law and is already in force; the CSDDD is an EU directive, to be transposed by 26.07.2028 and applied from 26.07.2029. Since Omnibus I ((EU) 2026/470) narrowed its scope to 5,000 employees and EUR 1.5 billion in turnover, it is narrower than the LkSG rather than broader. Turkish companies supplying German customers most often encounter the obligations of both through contract. We assess which one binds you and how, according to your business.
