To succeed in product compliance, businesses need to have both long-term vision and short-term progress, and keep track of every little progress. They need to develop a proactive mindset and try to translate regulations into tangible actions: impact on products, artwork, processes, due diligence, and data.<\/p>

The Evolution from Purchasing to Strategic Procurement <\/span><\/h3>

Caspar observed a critical market evoluation: many companies are moving from price-driven purchasing to value-driven procurement. As a \u201cCompliance Rebel,\u201d as Caspar claimed himself, every compliance manager should drive new initiatives and changes in an organization and let relevant stakeholders be aware of the change. Personally he is not very optimistic about this, but the entire industry is gradually maturing into \u201cprocurement\u201d thinking, taking into account the impact on top of the price.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

ESPR: The EU's Architectural Framework for Sustainable Commerce<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Design for re-use and repair and minimizing wastage are the essence of the latest ESPR. Otherwise known as the \u201cGreen Deal,\u201d the regulation works towards a circular economy that has been promoted across industries in recent years. Products shouldn\u2019t just be repairable\u2014they should come with spare parts and publicly available repair instructions.<\/strong> And not just for in-house service centres\u2014independent certified repair centres should be empowered too.<\/p>

ESPR Implementation Strategies<\/span><\/h3>

An example is enhancing the repairability and durability of smartphone batteries that are replaceable. Component manufacturers should work on the batteries of electronic gadgets. Another one is textiles, which is not allowed to be thrown away in the EU countries and recycling program should be in place.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

To <\/span>effectively navigate “Green Deal” compliance requirements,\u00a0<\/span>companies should redefine the problem, redesign the way to approach it, and change habits. Packaging is a perfect example: Instead of letting every supplier create their own packaging chaos, develop packaging concepts through dedicated packaging supply chain partners. Simplify to comply.<\/p>

AI, along with IoT, robotics and emerging technologies, are new tools for efficiency and part of every operational step. Cybersecurity becomes a challenge when data is not well-maintained.<\/p>

Data Governance and Risk Mitigation<\/span><\/h3>

Caspar advocates for “compliance by design” principles and responsible data stewardship when deploying technology products.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Consumers need the right to know and access to information, as well as the rights to transfer or erase data.<\/strong> Risks such as collecting too much data need to be changed. Only the data required to operate the product should be in scope.<\/p>

AI isn\u2019t a silver bullet. It won\u2019t restructure your supply chain. It won\u2019t redesign your product portfolio. It\u2019s a brilliant tool to analyse situations and prepare decisions\u2014but it doesn\u2019t make the decisions.<\/strong> That responsibility still rests with people. You can\u2019t outsource leadership.<\/p>

Map with not only first-tier suppliers but also second- and third-tier ones. Ensure the information that you get has substances: how\u2019s it actually made? What\u2019s in it? And move from reactive to proactive.<\/p>

<\/p>

Recognizing that transformation requires systematic implementation<\/span>, Caspar recommends prioritizing efforts: “Focus on the 20% of products that drive 80% of your business.” <\/span><\/p>
