Audit Steps: From Data Mapping to Technology Gaps
Step 1: Identify Key Data Collection Points
Map your supply chain to pinpoint sources of data required for the DPP:
- Tier 1 suppliers: Material content (e.g., percentage of recycled plastic, source of cobalt).
- Manufacturing facilities: Carbon emissions per production batch (OIN 14064).
- Logistics partners: Transport emissions (GLEC framework).
UN 2023 European Commission report found that 47% of companies lack visibility into data from suppliers above Tier 2—a significant compliance risk.
Step 2: Assess supplier capabilities
Assess suppliers using this scoring system:
| Criteria | Compliant (✔) | Non-Compliant (✘) |
|---|---|---|
| Data Accessibility | APIs/EDI integration | Manual PDF/Excel submissions |
| NFC Readiness | Tags applied at origin | No tagging infrastructure |
| Regulatory Knowledge | Trained on EU DPP rules | Unaware of SCIP requirements |
Step 3: Analyze technology gaps
Check:
- Legacy system limitations: SAP ECC6 cannot handle NFC data flows.
- NFC hardware deficiency: lack of industrial readers (tel que RFIDHY HY-R6100) for scanning on the factory floor.
Tool recommendation: NFC handheld device for field audit
RFIDHY HY-R6100 handheld portable RFID reader, multi-tag reading rate of 200Tag/s, 3.8V, 7200mAh polymer lithium battery. The outdoor open environment reading distance can reach 20 mètres. More than 40% higher than the current industry level.
Cas: An audit team used RFIDHY HY-R6100 readers to verify more than 5,000 farm Balises NFC in Ghana, reducing data errors by 40%.
Case study: Danone found that 30% of suppliers were non-compliant
Company: Danone SA (global food manufacturer)
Défi: Preparing for EU DPP authorization in the dairy supply chain.
Audit results:
- 30% of milk suppliers lack digital carbon footprint records.
- 15% of packaging suppliers were unable to provide recycled plastic certification.
Solution:
- Deployed Balises NFC at partner farms for real-time data capture.
- Trained 200+ suppliers on SAP Green Token for automated reporting.
Results:
- 100% Tier 1 compliance in 8 months.
- 20% faster EPR submissions with NFC-enabled batch tracking.
