As a compliance professional in the consumer goods industry, you may feel like you're fighting an unfair fight. You must ensure your company operates in compliance with a wide array of regulations, standards, and guidelines established by regulatory authorities, industry groups, and international bodies. These typically span multiple jurisdictions and involve managing a broad range of risk types.
Whether you’re in durable or non-durable goods, regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), EU’s General Product Safety Directive (GPSD), and new regulations such as the German Supply Chain Act (LKsG) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) add to the demands on you and your team, extending risk and compliance obligations beyond the enterprise to include third parties and suppliers.
Key areas of compliance in consumer goods
Consumer goods companies are complex enterprises. There’s many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:
- Supply Chain Due Diligence: Ensuring reliability, traceability, and compliance with laws such as the German Supply Chain Act, CSDDD, and the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act.
- ABAC Compliance: Ensuring that anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws and standards are upheld.
- Product Safety: Ensuring consumer protection from hazards across multiple product categories and meeting obligations in regulations such as the EU's GPSD.
- Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information in an increasingly digital landscape and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act).
- Environmental Compliance and Sustainability: Growing focus on environmental impact pushes regulations towards sustainable packaging, sourcing, and production methods.
- Emerging Technologies and Innovation: Navigating the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the development and implementation of emerging technologies such as AI.
- Workplace Safety: Implementing standards for a safe working environment.
- Labor Laws: Observing fair employment practices and labor standards, global modern slavery, and human rights legislation.
