Navigating Europe’s New ESG Policies with Illoominus

Introduction

Businesses in Europe are confronting new problems in an ever-changing environment where human capital management has become a critical component of successful firms. The European Union (EU) has made significant adjustments that require businesses to comply with DEI requirements. Illoominus, a leading B2B HR data insights tool provider, is dedicated to enabling enterprises to quantify the impact of investing in people and providing actionable insights to monitor human capital dimensions and improve strategic objectives. In this blog article, we will look at the new EU regulations, the relevance of data in accomplishing HR objectives, and how Illoominus can help businesses comply with these regulations and build a more inclusive workplace.

ESG and GDPR Changes

The European Union (EU) is making several adjustments to its ESG and GDPR legislation. The ESG improvements aim to make firms more sustainable and responsible, whereas the GDPR modifications aim to protect individuals' privacy. These changes can be extremely difficult for organizations that are not prepared.

ESG Changes:

  • Increased requirements for businesses to report on their environmental impact. Businesses will be required to report on their greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste production.

  • New requirements for businesses to ensure that their supply chains are sustainable. Businesses will be required to assess the environmental and social impact of their supply chains.

  • Increased penalties for businesses that violate the ESG regulations. Businesses that violate the ESG regulations could face fines of up to €10 million or 2% of their global annual turnover.

GDPR Changes: 

  • Strengthened consent requirements. Businesses will need to obtain explicit consent from individuals before collecting or using their personal data.

  • Increased control for individuals over their personal data. Individuals will have the right to access, correct, delete, and port their personal data.

  • Improved transparency for businesses about how they collect and use personal data. Businesses will need to provide clear and concise information about how they collect and use personal data.

  • Increased penalties for businesses that violate the GDPR regulations. Businesses that violate the GDPR regulations could face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of their global annual turnover.

These changes will require businesses to make significant changes to their operations in order to comply. Businesses that are not prepared for these changes may face significant penalties.

The Importance of Data in HR Measurement

Data is essential for understanding an organization's present status of diversity and finding areas for growth. It is difficult to build effective plans and activities to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace without sufficient data-driven insights.
