DPP Is Coming: Is Your Data Ready?
Why PLM is the key to compliance
Register Now
The deadline is just around the corner and the time to act is now.
With the EU’s Ecodesign legislation introducing Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements by 2027, retailers and brands can’t afford to wait. 2026 is the critical window to get data, systems and processes compliance-ready.
However, in the race to meet regulatory requirements, businesses are already encountering critical roadblocks. Disconnected data, siloed teams and gaps in supplier visibility are making it difficult to build the traceability that DPP demands. And while brands are responsible for creating and managing DPP data, retailers must ensure it’s accessible at the point of sale—adding another layer of complexity as pressure mounts.
Join Centric Software’s webinar, on April 30, 2026, 11 a.m. BST, designed specifically for brands and retailers selling textiles on the EU market. This follow-up session takes the last year’s DPP wake-up call webinar further—with tougher questions and clearer operational guidance.
Highlights
In this session, sustainability experts will cover:
Key DPP requirements and ESPR timelines: What brands need to deliver by 2027, what applies when selling textiles into the EU and how responsibilities differ between brands and retailers.
Where DPP data really lives—and why that’s a problem: How brands are addressing unclear data ownership across PLM, ERP, supplier systems, traceability platforms and manual records.
From data gaps to data governance: How to identify missing, unstructured or unverifiable data today—and avoid hidden compliance risks across the supply chain.
Supplier readiness and dependency: What brands need to understand about supplier capability, tooling and accountability—and how to manage DPP data collection at scale.
Why structured, connected product data is central to DPP success: And how Centric PLM™ is the foundation leading brands rely on
Featured Speakers:
Hrishi Mohan, Product Management Director at Centric Software
Mark Gaydon, Account Executive at Centric Software
Ben Sillitoe, Founder and Editor, Green Retail World, Moderator
The question is no longer if DPP will be enforced, but how brands can operationalize it without disrupting product development, supplier collaboration or market access.
This session is designed to bring clarity to common execution challenges and outline practical steps brands must take now to stay ahead.
