Overview

Benchmark Gensuite Product Stewardship (Product Steward) is a cloud-based platform designed to centralize and streamline product compliance and supply‑chain due diligence. It helps organizations monitor and comply with global product regulations (e.g. REACH, RoHS, PFAS, Conflict Minerals, Digital Product Passport), gather supplier data, manage supplier engagement, and support product sustainability and transparency efforts. The system enables cross‑functional teams to collaborate on compliance, risk mitigation, and sustainability reporting — transforming complex regulatory and supply‑chain obligations into a unified, manageable workflow.
