In our view, the decisive factors that speak in favor of the consistent implementation of material compliance requirements and regulations can be broken down as follows:
Risk minimization & liability protection
Companies that neglect material compliance risk not only legal consequences but also possible financial losses, as they could be liable for non-compliant products.
Protection of the environment and health
Material compliance helps to reduce hazardous substances, protect the environment and ensure the health of consumers and workers.
Securing the supply chain & market access
Many customers require proof of material compliance in order to meet legal requirements and sustainability targets. Material compliance enables companies to sell their products worldwide without fear of regulatory hurdles.
Competitive advantage & sustainable corporate strategy
Companies that proactively focus on material compliance can position themselves as responsible and sustainable market participants. This strengthens the trust of customers, investors and business partners.
