Compliance

Compliance refers to following the rules, laws, and standards set by authorities, organizations, or industries. It's about making sure that a company, individual, or organization meets the required rules to avoid legal problems, maintain safety, and promote ethical practices.

‍

Think of it like a game where there are certain rules you have to follow to make sure everyone plays fairly and stays safe.

For example, in food packaging, companies must follow laws on labeling, ingredient lists, and safety warnings. This helps keep consumers informed and safe. In workplaces, companies need to comply with health and safety regulations so that workers are safe.

Being in compliance means you’re doing things right. It keeps everything legal, safe, and trustworthy.
