In today’s business world, companies face growing pressure to be transparent, sustainable, and compliant. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards are no longer optional — they are a key part of how businesses are judged by customers, investors, and regulators. At the same time, managing product compliance across multiple markets has become increasingly complex.
This is where Perfion PIM (Product Information Management) plays a vital role. By centralizing product data and automating reporting, Perfion helps companies stay compliant while meeting sustainability goals with confidence and accuracy.
The Rising Importance of ESG and Compliance
More consumers and organizations now expect brands to show real commitment to responsible practices. From carbon footprint tracking to ethical sourcing, ESG performance can shape how a brand is perceived.
However, meeting these standards is not easy. Product data is often spread across departments, systems, and spreadsheets. Without a unified view, it becomes hard to measure, verify, and report accurate ESG data.
At the same time, global compliance requirements — such as REACH, RoHS, or packaging regulations — are evolving quickly. Companies must not only follow these rules but also prove compliance with reliable, up-to-date data.
Centralized Product Data for Transparency
Perfion PIM provides a single source of truth for all product information. It collects, stores, and manages every detail — from material composition and supplier data to packaging and certifications — in one central system.
As a result, companies gain full visibility over their product portfolio. This transparency makes it easier to identify non-compliant products, update missing information, or track sustainability indicators.
Furthermore, because all teams access the same accurate data, communication between departments improves. This ensures that marketing, procurement, and compliance teams all work from the same reliable foundation.
Automated Compliance Reporting
Manually gathering compliance information can take weeks, and mistakes are common. Perfion PIM simplifies this by automating compliance documentation and reporting.
For instance, when a regulation changes or a product update occurs, Perfion automatically synchronizes data across systems. It ensures that all compliance documents — from material certificates to audit reports — remain accurate and current.
This automation not only reduces human error but also helps companies respond faster to audits and regulatory changes. As a result, compliance management becomes proactive instead of reactive.
Supporting ESG Goals with Reliable Data
Accurate product data is essential for meaningful ESG reporting. Perfion PIM enables companies to track and manage sustainability metrics — such as recyclable materials, supplier sourcing, and energy use — directly within the system.
Because Perfion connects to ERP, PLM, and other data sources, it creates a unified overview of a product’s entire lifecycle. This allows teams to measure and share environmental impacts more effectively.
Moreover, Perfion’s flexibility makes it easy to adapt as ESG frameworks evolve. Whether your company reports under GRI, SASB, or EU CSRD standards, Perfion can structure data to match your specific needs.
Reducing Risk and Improving Accountability
When data is scattered, the risk of non-compliance grows. Missing certificates, outdated supplier details, or incomplete documentation can lead to fines or reputation damage. Perfion PIM reduces these risks by ensuring every product record includes the necessary compliance and ESG details.
With full traceability and version control, businesses can easily demonstrate due diligence and accountability. Every update is logged, so teams can track who changed what and when — a critical feature during audits or regulatory reviews.
Enhancing Collaboration Across Teams
Perfion PIM also improves collaboration between departments and regions. Because all users access the same system, there is no need to manage different versions of spreadsheets or duplicate data.
For example, compliance teams can update certification data while marketing teams automatically receive the approved product information for catalogs and websites. This ensures consistent, compliant communication across all customer touchpoints.
A Scalable Solution for Future Growth
As ESG standards evolve, companies need tools that can grow with them. Perfion PIM’s flexible data model allows businesses to easily add new attributes, product categories, or compliance requirements without disrupting existing workflows.
In other words, Perfion is not just a short-term fix — it’s a future-proof solution that supports continuous improvement and long-term sustainability goals.
