Chemical substance traceability

Chain-of-custody is a continuity capability; composition and substance traceability are depth capabilities. Neither replaces the other.

• •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.
• •Process & substance (chemical) traceability - Substances used in manufacturing processes can be recorded and linked to facilities, process steps, and affected products.

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)
• •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.

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

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.

Manual or externally defined risk assessments can be stored - (e.g. risk ratings entered by users or imported from external sources);

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)

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.
