On 10 December, The ID Factory’s webinar “DPP: What Does This Mean to Me as a Brand?”
brought together industry leaders and sustainability advocates for an engaging discussion on the
implications of the Digital Product Passport. With the Delegated Acts under the ESPR set to
reshape the way brands manage and share data, the event provided invaluable insights into
preparing for the transition.
