Complying with the Act
Managers of enterprises should become familiar with the Transparency Act and its requirements so they can ensure that sufficient resources are allocated for compliance with the Act. They need to establish systems internally that enable them to answer requests within the three-week deadline.
Existing policies and risk assessment forms that form the basis for the due diligence assessment also need to be updated. These policies must cover the requirements of fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. The risk assessment should the enterprise itself, its supply chain, and business partners. Enterprises can turn any potential business risks into a competitive advantage by allocating sufficient resources to the Transparency Act.
