# Materials and Environmental Compliance ## YourSuppliersHavetheData.CertivoGetsItForYou. RoHS, REACH, PFAS, Conflict Minerals—you're managing 10+ regulations across 500+ suppliers. Certivo automates supplier evidence collection, validates against every framework simultaneously, and generates customer-ready compliance proof on demand. ## The Problem ### MaterialsComplianceatScaleisBrutal ###### Supplier Black Hole You send declaration requests. Suppliers ignore them. You follow up. They send incomplete data. You follow up again. Repeat 500 times. ###### Customer Audit Panic OEM customer wants REACH compliance proof for 200 parts. In two weeks. Your team pulls all-nighters to assemble the evidence manually. ###### Spreadsheet Spaghetti 5,000 parts × 10 regulations × 500 suppliers = Excel files that crash. No single source of truth. No supply chain compliance visibility. ###### Regulation Whack-a-Mole SVHC list updated. PFAS banned in another state. RoHS exemption expired. Your products just became non-compliant overnight. ## PlatformCapabilities ### Compliance at a Glance: Product Dashboard See Every Product's Compliance Score Instantly No more digging through spreadsheets.

For manufacturers managing complex BOMs and global suppliers, non-compliance leads to shipment delays, audit failures, and regulatory penalties. Certivo provides BOM-level compliance intelligence and continuous validation across all applicable frameworks. **How does Certivo collect and validate supplier compliance data?** Certivo automates multi-tier supply chain transparency through centralized supplier self-service portals. Suppliers submit declarations once, and our AI agent, CORA, extracts substance data, validates thresholds, and maps it across multiple regulations simultaneously—eliminating manual reviews and spreadsheet tracking. **How does CORA improve materials compliance accuracy?** CORA is an AI-native compliance automation engine that reads supplier documents at the substance level. It performs CAS-level extraction, threshold validation, anomaly detection, and imputed calculations—ensuring accurate, audit-ready compliance even when supplier data is incomplete. **Can Certivo keep our products audit-ready at all times?** Yes. Certivo enables continuous audit-ready documentation by automatically re-evaluating products when regulations change or supplier data updates. Compliance evidence, CoCs, and audit packs can be generated in hours instead of weeks—without manual intervention. **How does Certivo support sustainability, ESG, and digital product initiatives?** Certivo supports product sustainability and ESG analytics by linking material composition, regulatory compliance, and supplier data in one platform. It also enables Digital Product Passport readiness by maintaining structured, regulation-aligned material data across the product lifecycle. **Does Certivo integrate with PLM and ERP systems?** Yes. Certivo supports integrated PLM and ERP compliance, allowing compliance data to flow directly into existing product and enterprise systems. This ensures a single source of truth for materials compliance, supplier risk scoring, and regulatory reporting across teams.
