Chemical substance traceability
Chain-of-custody is a continuity capability; composition and substance traceability are depth capabilities. Neither replaces the other.
- Supplier visibility/supply chain mapping - The system stores structured information about suppliers beyond Tier 1 (e.g. role, tier, location).
- Product–supplier association - Specific products (styles, SKUs, batches) are linked to the suppliers involved in their production.
- Product composition / component traceability - Products are represented as structured compositions (e.g. components, ingredients) that can be independently traced to upstream sources.
Sustainability Impact categories
Impact data coverage describes which sustainability-related topics a platform can store and manage data for. It does not indicate the quality of the data, the methodology used, or whether impacts meet specific regulatory thresholds.
No impact data is handled in the standard service offering.;
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) handling
Product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations represent a single impact category and do not constitute a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which covers multiple environmental impact categories across the product life cycle
LCA is not handled by the platform;
Risk assessment support
Risk assessment functionality indicates whether a platform supports identifying, prioritising, or visualising potential sustainability or compliance risks. Approaches vary significantly between tools and may rely on user-defined criteria, predefined rules, or system-generated indicators. Risk assessments are intended to support prioritisation and decision-making. They do not in themselves constitute legal compliance or due diligence.
No risk assessment functionality;
Value chain actors involved in data exchange
- Brand / retailer users - (e.g. internal teams managing products, suppliers, or reporting)
- Tier 1 suppliers - (e.g. cut-and-sew factories, final assemblers)
- Service providers / auditors / certification bodies - (e.g. third-party verification or compliance actors)
- Consumers or external stakeholders - (e.g. read-only access via QR/DPP)
