The growing flood of EU regulations presents German companies with increasing challenges. A clear example of this is the need to implement the new Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. This regulation mandates adherence to strict human rights and environmental standards throughout global supply chains. Furthermore, compliance with these regulations must be appropriately documented and proven.
Aeneis BPM & GRC software effectively supports such companies by not only simplifying process mapping and compliance monitoring, but also by systematically managing the required documentation and reports. In this article, you will learn how Aeneis helps companies meet these diverse and complex requirements so they can focus on their core business.
Challenges for companies due to the flood of EU regulations
The EU is constantly introducing new regulations for environmental, social, and compliance issues, often categorized under ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and taxonomy. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant penalties.
Crucially important: providing proof of compliance
It is also becoming increasingly important for companies to be able to adequately demonstrate their compliance with various regulations. These documents must not only meet legal requirements but also be made publicly accessible.
The ability to provide this proof is therefore critical for maintaining compliance and avoiding potential penalties. However, this transparency is not just a legal necessity; it can also strengthen stakeholder trust in your corporate governance.
Support from the BPM & GRC software Aeneis
Aeneis BPM & GRC software offers structured solutions to help companies manage diverse regulatory requirements. Various tools and apps within the compliance software enable the efficient implementation and adherence to legal mandates.
Below, we will detail the individual steps for ensuring the necessary compliance.
Step 1: Mapping processes
With Aeneis BPM & GRC software, companies can first map and optimize their processes. The integrated risk management system / internal control system evaluates all processes and derives the necessary control measures.
This allows legal requirements, such as those set out in the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, to be implemented directly within the work process. Your employees no longer need to search for information in different places; instead, they find it directly within the processes.
Step 2: Clear distribution of tasks
In addition, Aeneis enables clear assignment and management of tasks directly within the process. This ensures that all required information is available exactly where it is needed. The need for extensive manuals is thus eliminated, which is particularly useful for onboarding or during staff absences.
Step 3: Employee acknowledgement
The Aeneis BPM & GRC suite subsequently ensures that all employees are informed about process changes. Through the acknowledgement feature, it is ensured that all team members are aware of the current requirements and risks.
This promotes compliance and supports the regular review and documentation of control measures.
Step 4: Integration of EU laws
Constant updates to legislation, in particular, pose challenges for companies. With the Aeneis BPM & GRC software, new EU regulations can therefore be seamlessly integrated into company processes.
The innovative SmartDocs feature makes it possible, for example, to link relevant legal texts directly within the process. This ensures that employees have immediate access to the latest legal requirements and can read them directly in their work context. As a result, processes remain up-to-date and fully compliant with applicable regulations at all times.
Step 5: Fulfilling documentation requirements
Compliance with documentation requirements is also significantly simplified by the BPM & GRC software Aeneis. The tool enables the creation and management of versioned reports that meet legal requirements and must be made publicly available. This provides essential support for companies to ensure compliance and maintain transparency.
Step 6: Developing new apps
To consistently meet changing EU regulations, Intellior develops additional, needs-based apps in close collaboration with its customers, supplementing the existing app portfolio as required.
These tailored applications, such as those for information security management or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), contain specific content and dashboards customized to individual requirements. This allows for the precise mapping and handling of new regulations directly within company processes, ensuring compliance and effectively supporting audit management.
