The importance of compliance

The term “compliance“ stands for adherence to regulations, i.e. compliance with legal provisions, regulatory standards and the fulfilment of other essential specifications, standards and requirements that STAHLWILLE itself generally sets. Compliance is therefore actually a matter of course, namely that companies and their employees must also comply with specifications.

The reasons for compliance

Compliance is no longer merely an option for companies – it is a requirement. CEOs, managing directors and board members face prosecutions and fines in the event of violations. Public pressure has also increased: In times of #MeToo and increased climate and environmental awareness, violations threaten to cause significant damage to the reputation and image of companies – social media, the media and the public can exacerbate this effect.
