Digital Product Passports have emerged as a vital tool for enhancing supply chain traceability, improving the communication of product and material provenance, and even more urgently, meeting regulatory requirements. As the deadline for regulatory enforcement approaches, businesses must act swiftly to ensure they are equipped with the necessary tools and data to comply with multiple upcoming legislations.

To tackle this overwhelming topic, Empower approach helps businesses reap the benefits of a Product Passport beyond compliance and also helps communicate sustainability efforts in a visually appealing way that also builds trust. Empower’s Product Passport Builder is a user-friendly tool that enables businesses to create comprehensive Product Passports in a matter of minutes. With its intuitive interface and streamlined process, users can effortlessly map their supply chains, identify data gaps, and take proactive measures to address any shortcomings.
