Abstract (italian):

A business is an organization that engages in commercial, industrial, or professional activity on a systematic and predefined manner. Key aspects of the business include profit motive, exchange of goods and services, organization and management, and risk. A business’s objective is typically to supply goods or services to consumers or to other businesses in order to make a profit or to achieve a given non-profit purpose. Businesses can range from small-scale enterprises like neighborhood shops to massive multinational corporations but they are distinguished from occasional or unorganized endeavors for their scope, that is to organize their own activities on a specified way, in many cases formally defined, a priori with respect to the activities. In other terms, businesses have their own predefined processes, or workflows. A process is a set of events, procedures, or operations that are performed in admissible systematic orders to reach a specified conclusion or purpose. In industrial and agrictu- lural production, for instance, a process is the activity of converting inputs (such as raw materials, data, or resources) into outputs (finished goods, results, or solutions) using a set of structured procedures. Key elements of a process include sequence, inputs and outputs, transformation, repetition, and control. A business process is a comprehensive formal model that represents the behavior of complex systems, both existing and newly designed ones. These models capture the interactions and synchronizations between humans and machines, making them crucial for understanding and optimizing the dynamic interplay within business operations. Compliance refers to adherence to laws, regulations, guidelines, and specifications relevant to organization operations. It ensures that businesses operate within a given normative background and meet the standards set by regulatory bodies, industry best practices, and internal policies. Ensuring compliance means that business processes are aligned with regulatory requirements, organizational goals, and both soft and hard rules imposed on the processes themselves. Compliance is essential for maintaining legal and ethical integrity, minimizing risks, and enhancing the reputation of the organization. Without compliance warranties, a business may incur penalties from regulatory bodies or have adverse effects in the future, whether economically, socially, or environmentally. Business processes must adhere to various forms of compliance, in the realm of practical business life including: a General Regulatory Compliance: This ensures business processes conform to external authorities’ laws, regulations, and standards. It involves adhering to legal requirements that govern the industry or sector in which the organization operates. b Goal Compliance: This aligns business processes with predefined organizational goals and objectives. It ensures that the processes support the strategic aims and targets of the organization. 1 c Impact Compliance: This ensures that the impacts of business processes remain within acceptable thresholds, thereby minimizing negative effects of the execution of the process. It involves assessing and managing the potential effects of processes on various aspects of the business. d Environmental Compliance: This ensures that the impacts of business pro- cesses do not exceed constraints set from an environmental perspective. It involves adherence to environmental regulations and practices that mitigate adverse en- vironmental effects. Adhering to these compliance requirements helps ensure that business processes operate effectively within legal and ethical boundaries while sup- porting organizational objectives and minimizing negative impacts on society and the environment. This dissertation primarily focuses on impact compliance and environmental compliance, that I shall show are analog
