European export compliance and sustainability with Digital Product Passports (DPPs)

Selling to Europe? One key regulation you need to be aware of is the upcoming EU Digital Product Passport (DPP). This webinar, delivered by DBT and Santander UK, will guide you through what DPPs are, why they matter, and how to prepare your business for the coming changes.

What You’ll Learn

• What the Digital Product Passport (DPP) is and how it will impact your business
• Practical steps to get ready for DPP compliance
• Opportunities DPPs create for transparency, traceability, and ESG reporting
• Key timelines and what actions to take now

Session Overview
With the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) now in effect, DPPs are set to transform the way businesses manage product information and supply chain data. Designed to promote sustainability and empower informed consumer choices, DPPs will track a product’s entire lifecycle—from design and materials to shipping, repairs, and recycling.

This session will break down what businesses need to know to stay ahead, remain competitive, and build stronger ESG strategies. Backed by insights from Santander UK's latest Trade Barometer, the session highlights rising pressures for supply chain transparency and sustainable practices.
