BMO partnership VFI and associations Pakistan

Through the BMO Partnership (KVP), between Verband der Fertigwarenimprteure e.V. ("German Importers") (VFI) Pakistani companies receive guidance from their associations on how to prove compliance with due diligence obligations for their part of the supply chain. The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) affects the management of companies in particular. In order to bring about improvements in due diligence obligations, intensive advice and support is required. To this end, advisors of the associations will be trained and coached by VFI in order to support companies in the process of adopting their management systems and document the results. Furthermore, the associations will receive input on how to position themselves for dialogue with various stakeholders on the topic (members, governments, NGOs, other associations, buyers, etc.).
