C&R knowledge base grows to over 1350 compliance laws |
C&R Knowledge Base exceeds 1,350 international laws and standards |
|
LONDON, ENGLAND, Jul. 10 -/E-Wire/--
Compliance & Risks' (C&R) Knowledge Base is a unique strategic platform for global product stewardship and forms a key element of its integrated regulatory compliance solution.
|
C&R's innovative enterprise software and data service, C2P - Compliance to Product – now contains a Knowledge Base of 1,380 laws, regulations, international standards and supporting sources. This should come as welcome news to the many global companies who are still struggling to handle the deluge of product legislation and information that bombards them on a daily basis.
|
The scale of the compliance challenge for global businesses is growing at an increasingly fast pace. The proliferation of regulations within just the environmental arena does not look like slowing down any time soon. Faced with fears of 'compliance meltdown' many organisations are choosing to turn to external consultancies for advice, or to invest in bought-in software solutions. But how do IT departments decide between the many compliance tools on the market in terms of ease-of-use, value for money and the crucial matter of return on investment?
|
Within the sphere of compliance there are software packages available that do a good job of addressing one or two policy areas – RoHS or WEEE for example. However, there is only one that has coverage across the entire product compliance landscape on a global basis – C2P from Compliance & Risks. This is the defining characteristic of the strategic Compliance Knowledge Management System (CKMS) that C&R has pioneered.
|
The C2P Knowledge Base grows on a daily basis thanks to C&R's specialist legal data team responding to clients' primary areas of interest and instructions. The team keeps a close eye on legislation as and when it is produced, in order to analyse and then incorporate it into the C2P Knowledge Base. Damien McGovern, CEO of Compliance & Risks, explains, "What C2P offers our clients, is a strategic Knowledge Base of environmental and product legislation, giving them the ability to identify issues, solve problems and take decisions far more quickly."
|
Because C2P is constantly updated as new laws are produced or existing legislation is amended, C&R clients can focus resources on value-add activities. "The real advantage of C2P is delivering critical information in a totally new format," adds McGovern. "The same legal data team that 'transforms' legislation into our easy-to-manage C2P structure, also works closely with individual customers to refine and customise the content of their own proprietary C2P systems. In that way, specific legislation relevant to their particular company operations is brought into the picture and connected to internal specifications and documents. It makes the system even more intelligent."
|
C2P contains product, environmental and compliance legislation from over 40 countries. Key Policy Areas include batteries, energy efficiency, recycling and take-back, corporate governance, hazardous substances, waste management and packaging.
