Beyond the DPP
Build once, comply many times.
The data infrastructure required for the Digital Product Passport doesn't only serve one regulation. The same product specifications, supplier traceability, and evidence frameworks underpin the Empowering Consumers Directive's substantiation rules, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive's supply-chain visibility expectations, and the Extended Producer Responsibility schemes' end-of-life reporting. Treating the DPP as a foundation rather than as a single compliance task is what turns a regulatory cost into operational leverage.
A long term commitment
Why GO TRACE?
Fashion-specific since 2022
Not generic ESG. We specialise in textiles, apparel, and footwear: that’s all we do.
At the table where standards are written
Our founder participates as Observer in UN/CEFACT’s DPP and circularity work-streams.
Independent, no vendor ties
We don’t sell software. Our course includes a vendor-neutral registry of DPP service providers, because choosing the right tools matters, and we have no stake in which one you pick.
Built for the regulation era
We started when traceability was voluntary. Now it’s becoming law, and we’re ready.
“Such a rigorous and thoughtful programme. It gave me exactly the structure and clarity I was looking for!”
“Digital Product Passports do not replace due diligence but rather act as structured containers for the necessary data to support it.”
From Voluntary to Mandatory.
When we launched GO TRACE, traceability in fashion was a choice, a way for forward-thinking brands to differentiate themselves and build trust with conscious consumers.
That era is ending.
The EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is now in force, introducing the Digital Product Passport as a future mandatory requirement for products sold in Europe. Textiles is a priority sector. In the coming years, every garment will need to carry verified data about its materials, origins, environmental impact, and end-of-life options.
What we championed is becoming law. And we’re here to help you prepare. Read our full explainer on the EU DPP timeline →
