Measure, Reduce, and Lead with Sustainable Impact. The Next Step Towards Fewer Emissions.

Product Environmental Footprint – Take a proactive step towards sustainability today.

Designed to enable Chief Sustainability Officers to assess the environmental impact from raw material through to product manufacture up to the factory gate. The underlying bill of material data is retrieved from source ERP systems and contains highly detailed information that enables us to map carbon emissions values to each process step.

This approach aligns with broader corporate strategy-making, as it helps organizations focus on what matters most to long-term value creation.

EXA helps by splitting the E2E value chain into more manageable blocks to bring clarity on how to measure, frame and treat sustainability initiatives.

Manage Sustainability Initiatives Effectively

Key Features and Highlights:

End-to-End Data Transparency

Master Data Harmonization

For a consistent and harmonized view in EXA PEF, master data from different heterogenous systems is brought together (through EXA Global Value Chain product). Therefore – even when facing master data challenges, such as material number breaks, unit of measure breaks or business partner breaks in IC transactions, EXA PEF still provides you with a consolidated view.

The EXA standard connectors read relevant finance and logistics information from source systems and secures transition paths from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA.

Cradle to Inbound Gate

PEF provides highly detailed information on every single material sourced from external suppliers, covering the footprint from the cradle to the enterprise gate – and keeps track of where, when and how much was consumed for production.

This information is then used to map its emissions. Emission values are preferably received from the vendors directly. If suppliers cannot provide emission information, PEF can integrate with LCA database.

Inbound to Outbound Gate

PEF tracks all the value additions undertaken within the enterprise and maintains it in the ERP system. Actual emissions in the enterprise (as part of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions) can be allocated to the individual materials based on the activities undertaken in the manufacturing of the products. This provides an accurate method to distribute the scope 1 and scope 2 emissions to individual products. Simple models for calculating emissions generated by transportation are provided as well.
