LkSG and CRMA: what procurement must document in 2026
Supply chain due diligence (LkSG) and the EU CRMA tighten expectations for documented risk analysis, prevention measures and evidence — especially for critical minerals. Procurement needs an audit-ready trail, not spreadsheet lists.
LkSG requirements
Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act requires risk analysis, prevention measures, complaint procedures and reporting — including raw material suppliers. For critical minerals: document origin, certificates, supplier concentration and remediation actions.
CRMA Article 24: the 65% rule
From 2030, max. 65% of a strategic raw material may originate from a single third country. Procurement must prepare diversification plans and import monitoring.
What audits need
- Portfolio and supplier mapping per material
- Risk scores and action history
- Validated documents with verification IDs
- Exportable reports for regulators and customers
