As sustainability regulations accelerate across Europe and globally, brands face growing pressure to report accurately, benchmark effectively, and adapt quickly to evolving requirements such as PPWR and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Yet many sustainability initiatives stall not due to lack of intent\u2014but because the underlying product and packaging data is fragmented, inconsistent, or inaccessible.
In this joint session, Unilever Prestige and Specright share a real-world perspective on how sustainability reporting and benchmarking depend on a strong data foundation built on specification management. Drawing from Dermalogica\u2019s journey and Unilever Prestige\u2019s enterprise-wide rollout, attendees will learn how centralized, structured specification data enables faster regulatory reporting, clearer sustainability insights, and better decision-making across brands, suppliers, and regions.
This session will explore how leading organizations move beyond spreadsheets and shared drives to establish a single source of truth for packaging and material data\u2014unlocking accurate EPR reporting, portfolio-wide benchmarking, and the ability to respond confidently to regulatory and retailer demands. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how data governance and spec-first thinking transform sustainability from a reactive obligation into a scalable, strategic capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
