11:40 AM Keynote Fireside Chat: Leveraging Digital Product Passports for Compliance and Consumer Trust

As regulatory pressure mounts and consumers demand greater transparency, Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are emerging as a powerful tool for forward-thinking retail brands. More than just a compliance requirement, DPPs unlock new opportunities to build trust, showcase sustainability efforts, and provide customers with unprecedented access to product-level data. We will unpack the essentials of the EU’s Digital Product Passport regulation and demonstrate how retailers can turn this mandate into a strategic advantage.

  • Understand the core requirements of the EU’s Digital Product Passport regulation and its implications for retail brands
  • Create a roadmap for DPP implementation that aligns with sustainability, traceability, and transparency goals
  • Incorporate product-level data into your customer experience to build deeper trust and engagement
  • Showcase your brand’s commitment to responsible sourcing and production with verified data accessible to consumers
  • Integrate DPPs into existing digital infrastructure, from supply chain systems to consumer-facing platforms
  • Ensure ongoing compliance through scalable systems that adapt to evolving regulatory standards
  • Capitalize on DPPs as a competitive differentiator in an increasingly conscious consumer marketplace
