Consulting
Already exploring DPP implementation?
Get an independent view of what is missing, what is already in place, and what should happen next. Hands-on consulting, no vendor ties, structured around your timeline and budget.
See the packagesMany organisations start by building internal understanding of the Digital Product Passport through structured learning. In some cases, particularly where complexity, timelines, or ongoing initiatives are involved, teams benefit from working with us directly.
When that is the case, we engage through scoped, fixed-price packages. No long retainers, no generic compliance playbooks, no software to sell.
Each engagement is led directly by GO TRACE and may involve carefully selected domain experts depending on the needs of the project.
One thing worth being clear-eyed about: the data-architecture decisions you make now are expensive to undo. Scope the data wrong today and you risk months of supplier data re-collection in 2027–2028 — precisely the window when every other brand will be soliciting the same suppliers for the same information. Getting it right the first time is, in practice, the main thing this kind of engagement buys you.
Three fixed-price packages
Pick the one that matches where you are.
Understanding the DPP tells you what data is needed. These engagements answer who collects it, where it lives, how it flows, and what happens when a supplier cannot deliver it.
