Consulting & Advisory

Structured regulatory and data-readiness support for manufacturers, multi-tier suppliers and public bodies preparing for EU Digital Product Passports, starting with the Battery Passport.

Why it matters

Your customers will need evidence your suppliers hold.

Under every Digital Product Passport, European economic operators need reliable, structured evidence from their suppliers. Most of that evidence is incomplete, held across technical files, supplier documents and legacy systems, and does not stay current. Batteries are first, from 18 February 2027; textiles, iron and steel, aluminium, furniture and tyres are among the categories expected to follow.

What's included

Evidence that arrives, and stays current.

  • Gap analysis: product-scope mapping and a structured comparison of your evidence against the applicable passport data points
  • Supplier coordination: information requests designed, critical suppliers prioritised, and practical follow-up so data arrives in a usable form
  • Internal process and workflow: clear ownership, sequencing and hand-offs, so evidence collection becomes a repeatable process rather than a one-off project
  • Sustainability guidelines: practical guidance on origin, carbon, composition and related evidence, to meet regulatory and commercial transparency expectations
  • Regulatory interpretation as passport rules and delegated acts are adopted, including who is responsible in your supply chain
  • Liaison with regulators and issues resolved before import, to minimise delays at EU market entry

    Carbon footprint and recycled content, ahead of time
