The industry is undergoing change: new product concepts, business models, and competitors are rapidly transforming markets. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing through initiatives like the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the EU Battery Regulation.
Digital product passports (DPP) are becoming the central lever for transparency, circular economy, and compliance in the supply chain. The DPP is thus becoming the key to digitally consistent sustainability and product data – and at the same time the basis for new value creation models, in areas such as circular products, service offerings, or automated reporting.
Introducing a DPP to a company requires organizational and process adjustments as well as changes to IT systems, infrastructure, and data management. In addition to the uncertain regulatory dynamics, it is primarily the three issues of data availability, data quality, and process realignment that pose challenges for companies.
In our webinar, we will show you how to strategically and practically set up DPPs in order to:
- assess the impact of regulatory requirements,
- develop a target vision for consistent DPPs throughout the life cycle,
- implement a DPP strategy tailored to your company.
Our tested and proven four-phase process model will guide you through the steps of assessment, target vision development, architecture development, testing, operational implementation, and scaling. You will learn how the DPP goes beyond mere compliance to create added value, from more efficient reporting, transparent data flows, consistent system landscapes to building the basis for data products, services, and new business models.
