Case Study: Siemens Healthineers achieves compliant, sustainable packaging reporting with SAP Responsible Design and Production

How can harmonized packaging data highlight the planetary impact of design choices

Siemens Healthineers, a global healthcare technology company, faced the complex challenge of complying with diverse international packaging regulations, such as plastic taxes and extended producer responsibility rules. They also sought to move beyond compliance to understand the environmental impact of their packaging material choices. To address this, they turned to vendor SAP and its Responsible Design and Production solution.

SAP implemented its Responsible Design and Production solution along with its Services and Support. This provided Siemens Healthineers with a global view of regulations, automated data aggregation, and streamlined reporting. The results included a reduction in regulatory exposure through the accurate on-demand calculation of fees and taxes, minimized manual effort and errors, and the ability to optimize future sustainable packaging design.
