The resources are reportedly being extracted using forced labour and are a known source of finance for armed conflict, says the EU. The EU implemented the Conflict Minerals Regulation last year as a means of restricting access to these natural resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Companies with registered offices or principal places of business in Switzerland have to comply with these due diligence obligations in their supply chain when dealing with the highlighted minerals and metals in Switzerland. They also need to comply with the due diligence duties if they offer goods or services that have suspected links to child labour. The import and processing of recycled materials are not subject to the new rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Requirements for Corporate Reporting and Due Diligence\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These corporate reporting and due diligence obligations will apply from the start of the financial year in 2023 to Swiss companies of public interest, which as a group together with their controlled companies in Switzerland and abroad meet both of the following requirements over two consecutive financial years:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The group has at least 500 full-time employees (FTEs) on an annual average; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The group exceeds either total assets of 20 million Swiss francs or a minimum turnover of 40 million Swiss francs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Companies&#8217; annual reports should cover environmental, social, and employee aspects, human rights, and anti-corruption. It must outline risks and mitigation measures and the relevant due diligence concepts adopted. Foreign companies related to the corporation must also be covered in the report approved by management and shareholders and must remain public for 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first reports have to be published in 2024 and failure to do so may result in a fine of up to 100,000 Swiss francs. A report need not be prepared if a written explanation for its absence is provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Businesses are required to have or put in place a suitable management system containing their supply chain policy, a system of supply chain traceability, risk assessments, and mitigation measures. This information must be available through on-site controls, and communications with authorities and civil society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Companies should publish reports on due diligence obligations. These should be accessible for at least 10 years. Making false statements in a report, or failing to comply with the reporting obligation, may lead to a fine of up to 100,000 Swiss francs. Where the failures are negligent rather than intentional, a fine of up to 50,000 Swiss francs could be imposed.<br \/><\/span><span class=\"gutentor-button-wrap\"><a class=\"gutentor-button gutentor-block-button gutentor-icon-hide primary-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/get-a-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT CORPORATE REPORTING AND DUE DILIGENCE LAW<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Exemptions to the requirements exist for businesses with fewer than 500 employees and assets of less than 20 million Swiss francs or a turnover of under 40 million Swiss francs.
