Environmental Compliance Management for Electronics

Environmental Compliance Management for Electronics

Electronics manufacturers are constantly under strict environmental regulations and typically subject to export law, which can increase supply chain costs and expose companies to significant fines and brand erosion in case of noncompliance. Our solution maximizes the visibility of regulation compliance status in all stages of the product lifecycle by integrating material data into the product lifecycle, creating a sustainability framework to address current and future environmentally-related needs.

Companies in the electronics industry are constantly under tight environmental and product quality regulations that vary depending on where products are manufactured and sold around the world. Compliance with these regulations and export laws requires additional resources and can incur substantial supply chain costs, increasing expenses associated with production, packaging, distribution and electronic equipment disposal. Having a reputation as a sustainable company can drive growth, while staying compliant with regulations reduces the risk of significant fines and loss of market share.

Support sustainability goals to grow your business and develop innovative, environmentally-friendly products by limiting the use of hazardous substances. Reduce the risk of non-compliance with regulatory directives such as REACH, RoHS and Conflict Minerals. Our solutions help you integrate material data into the product lifecycle to incorporate green requirements, supplier disclosure processes, compliance grading and reporting and a sustainable framework to address current and future environmentally-related needs.
