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.
• •Material flow / chain-of-custody tracking - Material inputs, outputs, and transformations between supply-chain actors are recorded using a defined chain-of-custody model.
• •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.

• •Material attributes - (e.g. fiber type, recycled / biobased content, origin attributes)
• •Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data - (e.g. environmental footprint indicators at product or material level)
• •Carbon & energy data - (e.g. GHG emissions, energy use, Scope-related data)
• •Water use & wastewater data - (e.g. water withdrawal, consumption, discharge, wastewater treatment data)
• •Chemical impact & compliance data - (e.g. restricted substances, chemical inventories, compliance status)
• •Supplier processes & practices - (e.g. production processes, management systems, operational practices)
• •Human rights & working conditions - (e.g. labor practices, social compliance data)
• •Biodiversity & land use - (e.g. land-use impacts, deforestation-related data)
• •Animal welfare - (e.g. animal-derived materials and related practices)

Types of sustainability impact data

Impact data coverage indicates what topics a system can handle; traceability capabilities indicate how precisely that data can be linked to products, materials, and processes.

• •Qualitative data - (e.g. yes/no answers, self-assessments, policy statements)
• •Quantitative data - (e.g. numeric values, measurements, calculated indicators)
• •Certificates & formal attestations - (e.g. certificates linked to suppliers, materials, or products)
• •Calculated / derived indicators - (e.g. system-generated metrics based on underlying data)
• •Verification & audit evidence - (e.g. audit results, third-party verification status)

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

The platform includes LCA calculation functionality - (e.g. impacts are calculated within the system - multiple impact categories);

LCA frameworks supported

• •ISO 14040 / 14044
• •EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)
• •French Ecobalyse / Eco Score

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.

• •Data-driven risk indicators are generated by the system - (e.g. risk signals based on traceability or impact data)
• •Risk visualisation and hotspot identification - (e.g. dashboards, maps, or prioritisation views)

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)
• •Tier 2 suppliers - (e.g. mills, dye houses, processors)
• •Tier 3+ suppliers - (e.g. raw material processors, fiber producers)

Digital Product Passport (DPP) development activity

BCome powers Digital Product Passports through smart QR labeling, enabling brands to communicate verified traceability and LCA data directly to consumers. Our DPP solution is currently live with multiple international apparel brands, ensuring transparency and circularity readiness.

EU regulatory readiness

Regulatory readiness reflects how a provider monitors and responds to evolving EU sustainability and supply chain regulations. It does not constitute a claim of legal compliance, as regulatory scope and timelines are still evolving.

Our roadmap is strictly aligned with EU mandates. We offer automated compliance for the French AGEC Law and Ecobalyse. We are currently integrating features to support the upcoming ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) and the standardized Digital Product Passport.
