(3/5) Conduct the risk analysis

Send the self-disclosure to your locations as a Request and create an Evaluation for each location.

Overview

This article explains how to send the LkSG self-disclosure to your locations as a Request and how to evaluate the answers in an Evaluation for each location.

Guidance on evaluating the answers can be found in (4/5) Explanations of the legal positions.

Prerequisites

Your locations have been created in Tacto ((1/5)) and the people responsible have been trained ((2/5)).

How it works

1. Create the self-disclosure as a Request

  • Open Requests › Supplier Requests and click Create new.

  • In the Create new Request dialog, choose the self-disclosure form for your own business area under Select form.

  • Enter a title and click Create Request.

Note: In the standard configuration, Tacto provides a form for the LkSG self-disclosure. The name and content of the form in your workspace may differ.

2. Add locations as Participants

  • In the Participants step, add all relevant locations.

  • Your locations are created in Tacto as Suppliers, so you will find them in the Supplier selection.

  • Then send the Request.

3. Create an Evaluation for each location

  • As soon as a location has answered the self-disclosure, open its profile and go to the Evaluations tab.

  • Click Create new Evaluation and choose the template for the risk analysis of your own business area under Select Evaluation template.

Note: In the standard configuration, the template is called “Risikoanalyse des eigenen Geschäftsbereichs” (risk analysis of your own business area). Your template may differ.

4. Complete and conclude the Evaluation

  • Evaluate the location's qualitative answers on the legal positions human rights, labour rights and environmental rights. Your assessment is included in the result of the Evaluation.

  • Conclude the Evaluation once all answers have been evaluated.

In the standard configuration, this results in a risk classification of the location: low, medium or high. Score formulas and thresholds are defined by your Evaluation template.
