Steplinks

Steplinks is a platform that depicts the entire supply chain of a product transparently and clearly, for example in the form of an interactive map - from the raw material to the end product. This depiction is created automatically on the basis of data already collected by the company, stemming for example from other sustainability activities such as the compliance with the LkSG. Key benefits for companies 1. Building trust: Transparency creates trust. By disclosing details about the supply chain, companies can strengthen consumer trust in their brand and thus gain a competitive advantage. 2. Purchasing decisions: With the additional information about the supply chain, consumers can evaluate products before the purchase and are thus enabled to make a more conscious decision. Excursus: supply chain law Legislation at EU level, and therefore also at federal level in Germany, requires companies to collect data on the supply chain of their products and to publish this data in a report on an ongoing basis with the Supply Chain Sustainability Act (LkSG). This reflects the trend that consumers want to know more about the origin and manufacture of products in order to make conscious decisions about sustainable products.
