Compliance management

RAI Amsterdam aims to comply with all legal and licence-related requirements and guidelines that apply to the organisation. We also strive to comply with and work in accordance with the standards and guidelines that the RAI itself has established The RAI aims to minimise the risks of non-compliance as much as possible and has a low tolerance in this respect, hence the establishment of a compliance management system

In setting up its compliance management system the RAI closely followed the starting points and principles of the ISO 19600 standard for compliance management wherever possible Key starting points included: a dedicated, structured approach in a continuous process; a clearly dened scope and a risk analysis-based prioritisation in the context of the specic characteristics of the RAI organisation; a clear division and appointment of tasks and responsibilities, with a leading and committed role for senior management; a cyclical process that enables the RAI to be a learning organisation; a focus on culture and behaviour in line with the core values; transparency regarding the compliance approach and the way non-compliance is handled.

The compliance management system has integrally mapped the compliance obligations of the RAI and secured compliance via programmes The progress is constantly monitored and discussed in the risk & compliance board, which includes the Board, senior management and the risk & compliance ocer.

We have placed a strong focus on renewing the RAI’s occupancy permit Based on a new re safety concept and detailed re safety plans per sub-location, the RAI worked closely with the local Environmental Service to get the new permit approved

Moreover, the RAI took steps to update its internal guidelines and policy formulation, and increase its transparency via documentation and specic reports in 2021 As the activities had been suspended for a long period, the development of reports has not yet reached the desired level It is our goal to achieve this in 2022
