Embedded Customized Supply Chain Map
The Embedded Customized Supply Chain Map allows organizations to embed an interactive map of their supply chain facilities, sourced from Open Supply Hub data, into websites or platforms for enhanced accessibility and transparency. It targets brands, retailers, suppliers across tiers, service providers, and consumers, with support for SMEs and configurable read-only access for external stakeholders. Key strengths include handling qualitative and quantitative sustainability data, certificates, and support for Digital Product Passport readiness through facility-level traceability.
AI-generated from all supplier submitted data.

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).;
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.
- Carbon & energy data - (e.g. GHG emissions, energy use, Scope-related data)
- Supplier processes & practices - (e.g. production processes, management systems, operational 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)
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)
- Tier 2 suppliers - (e.g. mills, dye houses, processors)
- Tier 3+ suppliers - (e.g. raw material processors, fiber producers)
- Service providers / auditors / certification bodies - (e.g. third-party verification or compliance actors)
- Logistics or downstream partners - (e.g. distributors, recyclers, end-of-life actors)
- Consumers or external stakeholders - (e.g. read-only access via QR/DPP)
Consumer-facing access to product data
- Consumer-facing content is configurable by the brand - (e.g. control over which data is displayed)
- External stakeholder access (read-only) - (e.g. regulators, auditors, partners)
Digital Product Passport (DPP) development activity
The Embedded Map Service helps companies visualize and structure their own supply chain facilities using OS IDs—supporting Digital Product Passport readiness by enabling facility-level traceability and linking production site data to products.
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.
