Compliance software for LkSG, CSDDD, and the laws that follow

Supply chain due diligence laws require risk analysis, remedial actions, and documentation. Prewave uses one workflow to scope, assess, and document supply chain risk for every regulation. We monitor and detect ESG risk from real events in your supplier base, not from questionnaires alone, ensuring scalable, audit-ready compliance with the LkSG, CSDDD, and more.

Reporting requirements have changed. Your obligation hasn’t.

Reporting obligations changed

BAFA stopped accepting LkSG report submissions in 2025. Many teams read that as “job done” and quietly stood the process down.

Underlying duties did not

Risk analysis, remedial measures and documented actions are all still required. Nothing about the obligation changed with the reporting requirement.

CSDDD is next

Despite a number of updates, regulations such as CSDDD will still apply to European operators. A set-up built for one law only holds until the next one lands.

Spreadsheets won’t scale

What most teams are left with is the set-up they already had: a questionnaire cycle, a spreadsheet, and no way to show what happens between reviews.

How it works

1. Scope

Supplier Scoping

A four-step guided workflow narrows a broad supplier list down to the exact companies that need assessment: covering suppliers and sub-suppliers from Tier-1 to Tier-N. 

The scoping process can be run on its own for a broad risk analysis, or as the top of the funnel into a CSDDD, LkSG, or NTA workflow.

2. Analyse

Risk Analysis

A concrete analysis based on the results of reporting on specific sites is weighed against the spend and revenue information. 

The risk analysis helps you to help identify suppliers that threaten your compliance, or where there is the largest opportunity to make a material improvement. 

3. Request

Supplier Requests

A request sent through Prewave names a required contact person, so it lands with someone accountable instead of a shared inbox. 

Answers to supplier requests come back structured and comparable across suppliers, connected directly to the supplier record.

4. Monitor

Continuous Monitoring

Signals about a supplier keep arriving after the assessment is filed, contributing to an ever changing risk profile. 

Prewave flags issues between review cycles: you find out when something changes, not at the next annual review.

5. Act

Action Management

Every flagged incident is recorded alongside sources, whether news or risk analysis, action(s) taken, and a full audit-ready edit log. 

Answers are a documented record, not a scattered inbox.

Customer story

Ensuring LkSG and CSDDD compliance for automotive

Yanfeng makes automotive interiors across more than 240 production sites, with thousands of suppliers behind them.

Rather than run a process per regulation, the company built one view of its supply base: a 360° risk score for every supplier across all risk categories, traced from Tier 1 through to raw material producers. That foundation carried its LkSG compliance, and it is the framework Yanfeng will use for CSDDD.
