FMCG & Retail
The consumer goods industry is transforming due to digitization more than most other sectors. The increasing need for convenience and delivery options – be it in the textile industry, in electronics or in the food sector - comes with challenges and opportunities. The desire of many consumers for more sustainable products as well as regulatory requirements, such as the introduction of the German Supply Chain Act, require companies to adjust. Their implementation does not only raise distribution and sanctions law issues but also questions regarding the establishment of a compliance system and the acquisition of new lines of business in order to keep pace with consumer needs.
