Data Architecture Blueprint
Capture reliable data at the source to avoid end-of-quarter scrambles. Integrate the following systems into a single reporting warehouse.
| Source System | Key Fields | Update Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| Procurement & ERP |
| Monthly import with quarterly validation against supplier attestations. |
| Warehouse & Operations |
| Automated feeds from scales and WMS logs; weekly exception review. |
| Finance & Sustainability |
| Quarterly consolidation with annual external assurance package. |
14-Week Implementation Roadmap
Phase 0 · Alignment (Weeks 0-2)
- Appoint executive sponsor and cross-functional working group.
- Select frameworks required by customers, regulators, and investors.
- Define internal standards for “recycled” and “reusable” packaging.
Phase 1 · Data Foundation (Weeks 3-6)
- Build data dictionary mapping ERP SKUs to material types and recycled content.
- Integrate baler/scale outputs into BI warehouse with facility tags.
- Create emission factor library using EPA WARM, DEFRA, or supplier data.
Phase 2 · Reporting Automation (Weeks 7-10)
- Develop reusable dashboards segmented by facility, supplier, and customer program.
- Automate monthly KPI packs with variance analysis versus targets.
- Implement workflow to manage customer scorecards (Walmart SQEP, Amazon SIPP, etc.).
Phase 3 · Assurance & Storytelling (Weeks 11-14)
- Assemble evidence binder for third-party assurance (process narratives, samples).
- Package sustainability wins into customer case studies and sales collateral.
- Schedule annual review to refresh goals and incorporate regulatory updates.

Audit-Ready Controls
As regulatory scrutiny increases, document the controls that protect your sustainability claims.
- •Segregation of duties between procurement records, treatment logs, and stamp custodians.
- •Access-controlled data warehouse with immutable audit trails.
- •Quarterly sample testing of recycled content claims via third-party labs.
- •Retention policy aligned to SEC/CSRD expectations (≥7 years for financial-impact data).
- •Disaster recovery plan ensuring sustainability data backups across regions.
