An Environmental Footprint includes many types and categories of data, usually scattered in different systems, with many attributes, and formats, in need of compilation, centralisation, quality assurance, and syndication.
Footprint Data Management is not just a data-driven approach to manage and control your footprint and sustainability data, it is also a strategic and sustainable solution through its stability, flexibility, and scalability. Being in control of your footprint means being prepared for any future demands or needs as well as starting to act on lowering your impact.
There are more than 200 environmental labels active in the EU alone, and more than 450 active worldwide. We believe that sustainability will be just as regulated as financial reporting in a relative near future, and most companies and nations have already set up precise targets for carbon emissions for the upcoming years.
The demands for more complete declarations and traceability has led to legislations and regulations to report and share data for the entire life cycle of products like EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) and Digital Product Passport.
Digital Product Passport for one, is part the proposal from the EU Commission for 2023 on the Regulation on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products and addresses product design and sets new requirements. “Product-specific information requirements will ensure consumers know the environmental impacts of their purchases. All regulated products will have Digital Product Passports. The information to be included in the product passport may include information such as the environmental footprint of a product, information useful for recycling purposes, the recycled content of a certain material, information about the supply chain, and others.”
We have the competence and solutions to get you going with a data-driven strategy to deliver on your sustainability goals and proactively manage your footprint data. Not only for compliance but for increased business agility and sustainable growth.
The market demand for environmentally responsible companies and more sustainable commerce and products is intensifying. Working strategically with sustainability data on an MDM platform like other business critical data creates the transparency necessary for your organisation to access and share the data needed to make better analysis and make better decisions. This increase in business agility will also make it easier to comply to new regulations as well as report progress to owners, investors and consumers and an opportunity to develop more circular and sustainable business models, solutions and products.
Let us show you how!
Nexer Footprint Data management is a data-driven approach to sustainability work. By automating the processes to compile as well as syndicating actual footprint data from external sources and by integrating necessary internal systems, you’ll free up operative time to harness the real strategic value of the data.
We have developed our solution on a world leading MDM platform since it have built-in functionalities for data quality management that ensures that updates and changes are performed everywhere simultaneously. You need managed, correct and relevant data to share with other systems, suppliers, distributors, sales channels, and for building environmental product declarations and reports.
You also need access to correct and relevant sustainability data to make more informed business decisions and to make green claims. You need to know your figures to show your figures. Better data means better business which can ultimately create a better world.
Oatly wanted a scalable and capable platform to:
• calculate, measure and manage their products’ footprints
• utilise the same platform for PLM processes
• sustainability reporting
• show their products’ actual PCF numbers on the consumer packages
Oatly not only wanted a sustainable solution that could scale, but early on they adopted a “know your numbers to show your numbers” data management strategy.

We have developed a model for helping companies go from vision to continuous process development and to deliver on their sustainability goals. Our strategy consultants can support you in identifying your focus areas, ambition level and what to measure. When you are ready, we will quantify the data you need to collect and calculate, what your data streams and workflows look like, and identify all data sources and parties.
We’ll start with a Think phase, a process analysis, to really understand what the current situation looks like and as a starting point for an implementation analysis which focuses on building the optimal data model for you as well as discovering what integrations will be needed.
As a partner we offer strategy, tech and communication for a promising future.
Collaboration is key to a more sustainable world.
