Your team already owns compliance. Now it’s being asked to prove sustainability and transparency too.
Product Stewardship leaders are balancing established obligations such as REACH, RoHS, SCIP, PFAS and GHS with new requirements for ecodesign (ESPR), Digital Product Passports (DPP) and packaging (PPWR). As compliance, sustainability and transparency data converge into a single product record, the challenge is getting the right data at the right time to respond confidently across thousands of products without losing market access.
Join us on November 5 for a virtual event with Verdantix, fellow product stewardship leaders and Sphera to explore:
- Where the shift is: Understand how regulations such as ESPR and Digital Product Passports (DPP) are changing the Product Steward role, and what that means for your priorities.
- How product stewardship leaders are responding: Compare approaches to expanding responsibilities, fragmented data and competing demands.
- Where technology can help: See how Sphera’s newest solutions, including AI-powered capabilities, help manage the convergence of compliance, sustainability and transparency across the product lifecycle.​

Today’s compliance reality: what’s on your plate and what’s coming next
Verdantix opens with survey data on where teams are struggling to keep pace with REACH, RoHS,SCIP, PFAS, GHS revisions and CBAM, with data scattered across ERP, PLM, BOM and supplier systems. Then look ahead to ESPR and Digital Product Passports, and how they will shape the evolving product steward role over the next 24 months.

Where it’s converging: where compliance and sustainability data meet, today
Are compliance and sustainability data converging in your organization, or are they still separate systems and separate teams? How is the role of the product steward evolving? Product Stewardship leaders and Product Sustainability leaders answer the same questions side by side, so you can compare their reality with yours. Where do the two functions still duplicate work? What would it take to become one?
