Companies face increasing pressure to comply with complex and evolving sustainability regulations, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates, carbon accounting standards, and retailer-specific requirements. Managing the diverse data sources, reporting formats, and deadlines across multiple jurisdictions consumes significant time and resources.
