What is inside

Three practical artefacts, ready to use

The toolkit is built for fashion and textile professionals who want to start Digital Product Passport work today, without waiting for perfect information or a big training budget. Three practical tools (a readiness self-assessment, a supplier data request template, and a quick action plan), plus a 30-day roadmap to put them to work.

  • DPP Quick Readiness Check

    A structured self-assessment to see where your organisation stands on DPP readiness: across data, supply chain, and systems.

  • Supplier Data Request Template

    A ready-to-send template to collect the right material, origin, and environmental data from your Tier-1 and upstream suppliers.

  • DPP Quick Plan Template

    A simple planning template that turns your readiness check into a prioritised list of actions, scoped to be realistic in a product calendar.

Best for

Fashion brands, textile suppliers, sustainability teams, sourcing teams, and consultants who need a structured starting point for DPP preparation.

Who it is for

You should pick this up if…

  • You have an upcoming meeting about DPP and need to walk in with a clear view of where your company stands, not just a vague sense that you should "look into it".
  • Your manager or client has asked "where are we on DPP?" and you don't yet have a structured answer to give them.
  • You need to contact suppliers about DPP data but don't want to write the email from scratch, or risk asking for the wrong things.
  • You are scoping a DPP project and need a defensible first step before committing to a larger budget or a full training programme.
  • You are already planning to take the Master DPP Course and want practical tools to start using before or alongside it.
