DPP Readiness Assessment · €1,500 excl. VAT

How ready is your organisation for the Digital Product Passport?

A structured assessment of your DPP preparedness across 41 data points, with a personalised ~20-page readiness report and a prioritised 90-day action plan. A 1-hour expert call is included.

The EU Digital Product Passport is coming for textiles and fashion. The ESPR is in force, and the Textile Delegated Act will define exactly what data every product must carry. But most brands don't know where they actually stand.

They know DPP is coming. They don't know:

  • Which of the 40+ data requirements they can already meet
  • Where their biggest gaps are
  • What to prioritise with limited time and budget
  • Whether their systems, suppliers and processes are ready

The DPP Readiness Assessment gives you a clear, personalised answer to all of these questions — in 10 working days.

What you receive

The deliverables, in detail

Overall readiness level

Ready, Partially Ready, Not Ready, or Critical Gap — with a narrative explanation.

Section-by-section analysis

Seven areas assessed individually: product identification, supply chain visibility, material composition, durability and recyclability, environmental data, data systems, and governance.

Specific gaps identified

Concrete, actionable findings — not vague recommendations.

Cross-cutting patterns

Structural weaknesses that span multiple areas (data fragmentation, Tier 2+ visibility gaps, lack of internal ownership).

Broader regulatory implications

Where your DPP gaps also affect Green Claims, due diligence, and EPR obligations.

90-day prioritised action plan

What to do immediately, in 30 days, and in 90 days.

1-hour expert call

Discuss findings and clarify priorities with the GO TRACE team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the free DPP Solution Priorities assessment?

The free DPP Solution Priorities takes 5 minutes and gives you your maturity stage and priority categories. The DPP Readiness Assessment goes much deeper: 41 questions, 8 sections, a personalised written report (~20 pages) with specific gap analysis, cross-regulatory implications, a 90-day action plan, and a 1-hour expert call.

How is this different from the DPP Readiness Audit (€8,500)?

The Readiness Assessment is based on what you tell us (self-reported). The Readiness Audit is based on what we verify ourselves — we review your actual product data, supplier records, and systems. The Assessment tells you "based on what you know, here's where you stand." The Audit tells you "based on what we've checked, here's where you really stand."

Do I need to complete the form in one sitting?

Yes — for privacy reasons (no cookies, no localStorage) this form does not store progress between sessions. We recommend gathering input from sourcing, IT and quality colleagues beforehand, then completing it in one sitting (30–45 minutes).

What format is the report?

A branded PDF document of approximately 20 pages, delivered by email within 10 working days.

What happens after the report?

The report includes a 1-hour expert call. Based on your results, we may recommend further steps: the DPP Masterclass (deeper learning), the Personalised DPP Provider Map (technology selection), the Green Claims Audit (claims substantiation), or the full DPP Readiness Audit and Implementation Strategy (hands-on support).
