foryouandyourcustomers helps you master sustainability management with Digital Product Passports and make life-long digital transparency a piece of cake.

Implementing the Digital Product Passport is reshaping structures, processes and responsibilities across the entire organisation. Between regulation, technology and customer expectations, priorities must be set, roles clarified and opportunities identified.

The DPP is not primarily an IT initiative, but an organisation-wide undertaking. It affects the entire value chain from product development and production to sales and after-sales. It links data, processes and people, and opens up new possibilities that only become effective when responsibilities are clear and collaboration is aligned.

Clarifying responsibilities and collaboration

In many companies, it is still unclear who is accountable for the DPP. Individual departments often act independently. Now is the right moment to define responsibilities and ways of working together so that everyone contributes to shared objectives. Our Method "Exploded View" offers companies a practical tool to develop answers to today’s challenges and take an active role in digital change. 

Taking a strategic view of the circular economy

The DPP can achieve far more than meeting legal requirements. Used well, it becomes a driver of circular value creation and enables new business models and services. This turns a regulatory obligation into an investment in future viability and competitiveness.

Shaping the customer experience

The DPP is evolving into a new communication channel with its own requirements for design, guidance and information architecture. Those who think from their customers’ perspective create experiences that build trust, offer clarity and deliver real value.

Structuring data effectively

Product information is often spread across ERP, PIM or MES systems. For the DPP to unlock its full potential, data must be harmonised, maintained and made transparently accessible. Clear structures and defined responsibilities form the foundation.

Defining granularity and long-term accessibility

Whether at model, batch or individual item level – the chosen level of detail affects the effort required, the benefits and the acceptance of the DPP. Equally important is ensuring that information and URLs remain secure and reliably accessible for many years. Only then can long-term trust in the data be established and lasting value created for both companies and customers.
