“The Forced Labour Regulation lands in 2027 and we are not ready.”
It applies to anyone placing products on the EU market — no size threshold. What the Commission 2026 guidelines require from your supply chain.
“Our supply chain human rights risks have never been assessed.”
A UNGP-aligned risk assessment with prioritised actions — the same work we have done for Terrafame and Finnish Minerals Group.
“Our contracts do not carry sustainability requirements.”
Contract terms and Supplier Codes of Conduct a supplier can actually meet — and that hold up in a dispute.
“A customer wants CSDDD answers we do not have.”
After the Omnibus the directive binds few companies directly. The pressure arrives as customer contract terms — and those are negotiated.
Why Nexus Legal

Research-based knowledge, put into practice

I hold a doctorate in law, and my doctoral research focused on corporate due diligence obligations. Alongside my research, I have carried out hands-on assessments for companies (see references). I have conducted risk analyses, recommended measures based on them, and reviewed supply chain contracts for forced labour risks.

So I know both what the regulation requires and how to make it work in day-to-day business. I help you prioritise: where to start, and what matters most given your company’s actual risks.

How the work runs

01
Mapping
We go through your sector, value chain and current processes. Half an hour is enough for both of us to know what we are talking about.
02
Prioritising
You get a list of what binds you now, what binds you in 2027, and what does not apply at all. The list usually gets shorter.
03
Implementation
Risk assessment, contract terms, policies and training — as much as is needed, no more.
