Motto: Allow complexity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

According to Manager Magazin, she is one of the 100 most influential women in German business – alongside Annalena Baerbock, Anahita Thoms was the only German to be included in the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program last year.<\/p>\n\n

The lawyer (Anahita Thoms is a partner at BakerMcKenzie and heads the international commercial practice in Germany) answered questions from around 25 participants in the China Club at the Q&A lunch, a networking format for female managers at the VBKI. SATELLITE OFFICE CEO Anita G\u00f6diker reported on a highly interesting event. <\/p>\n

\"VBKI<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The event, moderated by VBKI Vice President Dr. Sigrid Nikutta, was held under the somewhat unwieldy title “The Supply Chain Duty of Care Act: Challenges and solutions for industry and trade”.<\/strong> Background: The law obliges companies based in Germany – usually with 1000 or more domestic employees – to observe human rights standards within their supply chains.<\/p>\n\n

“I am committed to ensuring that combating forms of modern slavery is at the top of the agenda for governments and companies.”<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

For Anahita Thoms, this is an issue close to her heart: “For me, sustainability means that Western companies must ensure compliance with these standards along their value chain. I am committed to ensuring that combating forms of modern slavery is at the top of the agenda for governments and companies.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Behind every product are complex, often global supply chains. This makes it all the more important to keep an eye on the working conditions along these chains. <\/p>\n\n

The rule of law and human rights have occupied the high-flyer from an early age: “I was lucky that my parents always encouraged me and we discussed topics such as the rule of law and human rights a lot.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Perhaps this influence contributed to Anahita Thomas taking on responsibility outside the law firm at an early stage: she became a board member of Atlantik-Br\u00fccke, an association that promotes closer cooperation between Germany and North America. Thoms is also involved in the American Bar Association and is a member of the national committee of Unicef Germany. <\/p>\n\n

Anahita Thoms wants to build bridges – between business, politics, science and society. All in the interests of a more sustainable society. After all, dealing with the Supply Chain Act does not just mean coercion, but also strengthens a company’s reputation and image and enables more sustainable and ethically safe business practices. <\/p>\n
