FairVoice connects companies and their suppliers to an all-encompassing complaints and whistleblowing platform, handled by subject matter experts.
Developed in accordance with international guidelines including recommendations by BAFA (the German Federal Office for Economic Cooperation and Export Control), our pilot platform provides a clear, formalised mechanism to address concerns along the supply chain.
Why apply?
- Ensure compliance with international standards,
- Safeguard business integrity & reputation,
- Enhance your risk management system and improve supply chain resilience through a credible, accessible, simple, and cost-effective means,
- Receive legal recommendations to identify, assess, and manage potential human rights, environmental, and business integrity issues,
- Address concerns before they escalate & reduce costly arbitration fees.
Our pilot platform is free of cost for the Indo-German Business Community – limited seats available!
Background
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, or Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG), mandates that companies implement due diligence measures across their supply chains. This includes providing a functioning and accessible complaints mechanism to the workforce and suppliers through the establishment of robust procedures or through an external grievance mechanism.
As the focus increasingly shifts towards business responsibility, the German Supply Chain Act is just the beginning of international regulations that mandate grievance procedures.
Accordingly, FairVoice aims to support the Indo-German Business Community in its business integrity and compliance efforts.
The Initiative is being carried out by IGCC SustainMarkets and Alliance for Integrity in collaboration with the Business Scout for Developments programme which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
