When the European Union initiated its Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations, BASF SE understood early on that the implications would be significant. "Tracking and reporting substance movements in the detail required represented a huge and complex challenge," remarks Dr Andreas Gypser, manager of EH&S systems at BASF. "However, failure to do so would result in loss of business, financial penalties, and damage our reputation." To ensure it has the necessary structures in place to comply with the legislation, the Ludwigshafen, Germany–based chemicals giant prepared in good time. By collaborating with SAP and TechniData on the development of new substance volume tracking functionality within the SAP Environment, Health & Safety (SAP EH&S) application, the company harnessed its existing SAP IT infrastructure to ensure timely and efficient compliance management.
