Legal compliance management

Legal compliance management helps your company to act in a legally correct manner. Companies must therefore organize themselves using management systems and clear processes.

Legal compliance management is necessary for evidence

The correct implementation of management systems implies compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements. We help you to be legally secure on the road and to handle the requirements of EMAS, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, or ISO 50001 efficiently.

What is legal compliance?

Legal compliance is the adherence to the laws or policies that apply to a business. However, depending on your industry, the compliance requirements can vary. Legal compliance management also includes policies such as due diligence, reporting requirements or proper risk management. Legal compliance can therefore develop into a complex matter and have serious legal consequences if the obligations are not met.

How can your business achieve regulatory compliance?

Achieving regulatory compliance with EY denkstatt includes different steps and tasks. To get the best out of management systems and to strengthen your compliance policy, we work together with your EHS management closely. For ensuring regulatory compliance, these measures have proven successful: 

  • Analysis of your company and legal standards
  • Pre-evaluation of relevant legislation and implications
  • Implementation of the notification structure
  • Maintenance of a legal register
  • Legal monitoring and update on relevant legislation
  • Communication and EHS workshops
  • ISO audit and legal auditing

Legal risks of noncompliance

A legal risk of non-compliance exists in financial terms.

In addition to the damage to your reputation and lowering your opportunities, noncompliance can result in high legal fines, legal penalties and costly lawsuits. However, our experience shows that taking advantage of the potential and resulting benefits of compliance are a great motivation to run a company in a legally compliant manner.
