Abstract

Companies are obligated to assure that at any time they comply with all relevant regulations in all relevant subject areas of environmental law. Because this requires compliance management activities that are largely performed by humans, one needs to consider that a company, due to human errors, may unintentionally violate environmental regulations. A novel enhancement for Environmental Compliance Management Information Systems is proposed. The suggested Risk Profiling Service continuously evaluates data about compliance management activities in order to determine activity failures. The risk of non-compliance implied by every failure is estimated and a risk profile is generated by an aggregation of the single risks. A model to investigate non-compliance and to establish a foundation for the targeted information service as well as the required data processing steps are described. Furthermore, an overview of the major building blocks and the central processing principles of a corresponding research demonstrator is given.
