Two regulations, one supplier base
Same suppliers, different questions
Where CSDDD due diligence and DPP preparation actually overlap.
Somewhere in your business, three colleagues are emailing the same supplier this month. One wants data on working conditions. One wants material composition. One wants a certificate that expired in March.
CSDDD and Digital Product Passports are not the same job. Due diligence is about finding and fixing risks to people and the environment. DPP is about product information that holds up to scrutiny, defined product group by product group. Different owners, different deadlines, different vocabulary.
Some of the supplier information sits in both.
Most teams start by asking which regulation to tackle first. The more useful question is what your colleagues already hold, whether it is still current, and what is genuinely missing. Worth answering before the next request goes out.
This panel looks at how ESG, compliance and sourcing teams can stop working in parallel and start working from one picture. It also covers the harder part: making the internal case for the resources that takes.
What you’ll learn
- Where CSDDD due diligence obligations and DPP traceability data requirements overlap at the supplier-tier level.
- How Pepco Group organizes ownership across ESG, compliance and sourcing so activity data is collected once and used for both.
- How to build the financial case internally for acting on both fronts at once, instead of funding two parallel compliance budgets.
- What Fair Wear is seeing as brands put human rights due diligence into practice.
- What EON is learning about preparing product information for Digital Product Passports.
- How Inspectorio connects both workstreams through one supply chain data layer.
