A sustainable footprint

with Nexer footprint data management

For manufactoring and distributing companies an environmental footprint includes many types and categories of sustainability data, usually scattered in different systems, with many attributes, and formats, in need of compilation, centralisation, quality assurance, and syndication.

Nexer Footprint Data Management is not just a data-driven approach to manage and control your products’ footprint / environmental sustainability data, it is also a strategic and sustainable solution through its stability, flexibility, and scalability built on a collaborative multidomain MDM platform. Being in control of your footprint data means being prepared for any future demands or needs as well as starting to act on lowering your impact on the environment.

prepare for new regulations

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.

We can help you take control and work proactively with your environmental footprint data so you are prepare to share it. Our solution is built to support several different known outputs like declarations and reports as well as integrations with systems and sources for import and syndication to multiple channels.

Go from Compliant to leader

The market demand for environmentally responsible companies and more sustainable commerce and products is intensifying.  Working strategically with environmental sustainability data with master data discipline on an MDM platform, like other business critical data, creates the transparency necessary for, and across your organisation to access and share the data needed to make better analysis and make better decisions.

This increase in business agility will make it easier to comply to new regulations as well as measuring and reporting progress to owners, investors and consumers without greenwashing and moreover a foundation and opportunity to develop more circular and sustainable supply chains and products.

customer case Oatly

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.
