With the rapid expansion of regulations concerning packaging and packaging waste, such as the extended producer responsibility (EPR), and plastic taxes, organizations face the pressing challenge of adapting quickly to remain compliant and competitive.

Since 2021, SAP Responsible Design and Production has been SAP’s solution for calculating EPR fees across markets. At that time, the number of jurisdictions with installed mandatory EPR was around 60. By 2030, that number is expected to grow to 200.

With an evolving regulatory landscape, SAP has implemented new updates within the solution to help ensure that customers can navigate diverse reporting requirements, deadlines, and fees while increasing accuracy, reducing fees and exposure, and improving insights. Read on for updates about recent innovations and how the solution combines enterprise data with information about local and global regulations to help calculate obligations like the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

Meet EPR regulations with a flexible, AI-driven, and configurable approach

To date, SAP Responsible Design and Production has supported customers in meeting EPR requirements with out-of-box report categories that are pre-configured based on country. However, the new global regulatory landscape necessitates a more flexible approach.

Enterprises need solutions that enable them to:

• Understand obligations and quickly adapt to new or changing regulations.
• Prepare the data, consolidating from many sources.
• Prepare reports, which requires custom reporting logic based on specific business contexts; reuse of rules and fee structures across similar reporting schemes or producer responsibility organizations (PROs); and calculating EPR fees against shipments and printing the results on invoices to show customers the breakdown between product costs and indirect taxes.

To address these challenges, SAP Responsible Design and Production introduced user-defined reports to help enable customers to design their own sustainability reports, tailoring them to match unique regulatory logic, business context, and compliance requirements.

With new innovations in SAP Responsible Design and Production, users can:

• Structure reports according to the specific rules, PRO requirements, and fee models relevant to their business.
• Precisely narrow down to the packaging and transactional data that is being reported.
• Satisfy complex requirements with multiple dimensions used in report output structure.
• Integrate reports with external and third-party recyclability guidelines assessments.
• Report and comply with the increasing number of PROs that have incorporated eco-modulated ERP fees with eco-modulation grading capabilities.

AI capabilities enhance efficiency and accelerate readiness

The SAP Sustainability portfolio can deliver AI-led operational transformation by capturing sustainability data at the source and embedding intelligence directly into core business processes, thereby enabling continuous improvement at scale. In SAP Responsible Design and Production, two AI cases involving user-defined reports are in beta testing:

SAP Responsible Design and Production, AI-assisted user-defined report explanations

This capability uses AI to analyze and describe how developed extended producer responsibility rules contribute to the assessment results of selected product packaging. During the development of user-defined report categories, EPR report specialists may struggle to understand why a given packaging was categorized in a certain way or not categorized at all. The AI use case is intended to help resolve and simplify an error-prone process by which specialists manually recheck packaging data and reevaluate rules.

SAP Responsible Design and Production, AI-assisted rule creation for user-defined reports

This capability uses AI to translate from regulatory language to system rules, empowering packaging compliance managers to create and validate EPR reporting rules faster and with higher accuracy. The AI use case is intended to help reduce manual effort, avoid costly compliance errors, and accelerate report readiness across markets.

Prepare for future compliance and competitive advantage using AI

The EU PPWR is coming, and most companies aren’t ready. PPWR introduces significant obligations for all economic operators placing packaged goods on the EU market. Brand owners, importers, packaging manufacturers, distributors, and digital marketplaces are all impacted. To mitigate risk and ensure readiness, businesses must take immediate action to assess and adapt packaging materials, data systems, and regulatory reporting.

The detailed packaging data management offered by SAP Responsible Design and Production will help enable organizations to efficiently handle PPWR compliance. With robust data capture and flexible reporting, companies can anticipate regulatory changes and maintain transparency throughout their packaging supply chain.

SAP Responsible Design and Production is working on Article 5 document of compliance capability, recyclability assessments using real product shipment data, so you can assess which changes have the biggest impact. Stay tuned for future announcements from SAP on this topic.

An ERP-centric framework for many business outcomes

By enabling organizations to build reports that align with their changing needs, SAP Responsible Design and Production can ensure that compliance remains agile, scalable, and future-ready. The solution can connect design, production, and regulatory demands to enable organizations to minimize waste, optimize costs, and adhere to global sustainability standards.

Unlike standalone compliance tools, SAP Responsible Design and Production operates within an ERP-centric framework, helping to ensure seamless integration with existing SAP solutions for product master data and transaction data.

Traditional, manually intensive processes are not enough to keep pace with regulations and ensure competitive advantage by unlocking data insights. One SAP Responsible Design and Production customer recently confirmed that using the solution was four times faster and less expensive than manual processes with a spreadsheet or using consultants.

With SAP Responsible Design and Production, your organization can be empowered to respond swiftly and confidently to regulatory changes, working to ensure compliance while freeing your teams to focus on business impact that matters.

SAP Cognitive Twin Enterprise (CTE)

Modern enterprises are very effective at monitoring their business and analyzing vast amounts of data, yet many still see untapped potential in safely testing complex scenarios end to end and turning insights into cross‑functional, policy‑aligned options before making mission‑critical decisions. SAP Cognitive Twin Enterprise (SAP CTE) addresses this gap by creating an AI‑powered digital brain built on a continuously updated model of the whole organization. It runs what‑if simulations and provides governed recommendations on SAP applications and data across finance, spend, supply chain, HR, and customer experience, with selective, low‑risk auto‑execution and human‑in‑the‑loop control for higher‑risk steps.

The business case is compelling. Organizations that combine digital twins with agentic AI at scale report double‑digit improvements in efficiency and cost, plus materially faster decision cycles. For a global industrial enterprise with approximately €40 billion in revenue, SAP CTE is modeled to systematically prevent margin leakage, excess working capital, and audit exposure, delivering an estimated €229 million or more per year in hard impact and risk-adjusted cash benefit. By maintaining a continuously updated representation of the business, companies can test scenarios before execution and dramatically reduce the risk of costly mistakes.

SAP CTE’s real differentiator is its enterprise‑wide scope. It consolidates existing SAP capabilities and builds on SAP Signavio solutions, SAP Business Data Cloud, and SAP Knowledge Graph to maintain a shared semantic model of how the whole business runs. This cross‑domain intelligence lets Joule and AI agents optimize complex trade‑offs—such as cost versus service level versus carbon footprint versus operational risk—across all functions, rather than pushing problems from one silo to another. At the same time, SAP CTE provides a safe innovation environment: enterprises can trial new pricing strategies, network configurations, and workforce models in a production‑grade twin before agents execute changes in live systems.

SAP CTE represents a strategic shift in how enterprises operate. It turns SAP’s deep process knowledge, rich transactional data, and mature governance tooling into a differentiated position in a cognitive twin market that analysts expect to accelerate from US$36 billion today to US$150 billion by 2032, with 30%-40% annual growth. As an extensible platform, SAP CTE is designed to be the trusted operational brain for that future: new agents, scenarios, and data products plug into the same enterprise twin, allowing customers to expand autonomy and business impact over time without rebuilding their foundation.

“SAP CTE is more than an initiative: it’s our vision for a new era of connected intelligence. We’re bringing strategy, data, and execution into one continuous system of insight, so customers don’t just react to change—they anticipate what’s next and shape it. That’s how we win and grow together,” said Natalia Aksakova, Strategy & Portfolio at Global Finance and Administration.

The team demonstrated both transparency and customer focus by responding early to pull from go-to-market and sales teams while clearly stating tool limitations at each stage.

“The real fun in developing such a solution lies in seeing your idea and your knowledge grow at the same time and getting a clear pull from the market early on. The best customer sessions were those where the tool was improved live during the interview. That combined is a clear signal that we are on the right track,” said Alex Cramer, product manager at SAP Signavio Next.

AURA (Asset Understanding & Reliability AI)

Field engineers maintaining critical infrastructure face a frustrating reality: reporting asset faults requires completing complex forms on mobile devices, scrolling through endless dropdowns and codes. At Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW), 300 users report 400 to 1,000 asset faults monthly through SAP S/4HANA, but the process is slow, manual, and error prone. A single classification mistake can send the wrong maintenance crew and delay urgent fixes.

AURA (Asset Understanding & Reliability AI) revolutionizes this workflow by combining SAP HANA Cloud vector engine, SAP AI Core, and generative AI into a single intelligent solution. Instead of completing eight or more complex form fields, engineers simply upload a photo of the fault; review an AI-generated report automatically populated with asset type, location, and recommended classification; and confirm submission—all within seconds.

The technology uses embedded text, semantic search, and geospatial data to analyze both images and historical fault reports. AURA cross-references similar cases in the knowledge base, suggests the most accurate fault category, and learns from user corrections over time. SAP Cloud Application Programming Model provides the secure foundation, SAP HANA geospatial content supports asset location intelligence, and AI models process text and images using SAP HANA Cloud vector engine for similarity matching.

Results demonstrate substantial operational impact. AURA delivers 80% faster fault reporting, fewer data entry errors and misclassifications, and improved response times. For TfNSW, this translates to safer infrastructure, reduced operational costs, and a future-ready foundation for predictive maintenance. The customer response validated the approach: TfNSW loved the proof of concept and agreed to proceed with AURA as an official project.

Beyond defect detection, AURA lays the groundwork for scalable AI asset intelligence. Future phases include building a knowledge graph to link asset relationships, a data product integrated into SAP Business Data Cloud for advanced reporting, and a self-learning model that continuously improves accuracy. This creates a repeatable, cost-efficient framework adaptable across industries.

The solution embeds responsible AI principles from inception. The model uses TfNSW-specific historical data to prevent bias, includes human review before submission, and explicitly handles uncertainty to avoid hallucinations. It ensures transparency and compliance with SAP’s responsible AI framework while empowering human decision-makers.

“We believe the future of AI is not replacing people, but elevating them,” said Ruth Peng, AI specialist from SAP HANA ANZ. “AURA equips every engineer in the field, from junior to expert, with the confidence to perform at their best.”
