Product compliance is a decision about a product, not a report about a company.

Sustainability for fashion is product compliance. It means knowing what each garment is made of, where it comes from, and what you can prove.

What product compliance intelligence is

A garment is either legal to sell in a market or it is not. That turns on what it is made of, where it came from, what is printed on the label and the product page, and what you can prove when someone asks. The decision attaches to the SKU, and it is made again for every market the product enters.

What product compliance intelligence is not

It is not ESG reporting, which describes the company. It is not a factory audit, which describes the site. Both feed it. Neither answers whether this dress can be listed in Germany next season.

What compliance intelligence means

The three things that decide it are held together and kept current: the rules in each market, the evidence you hold, and the product record they attach to. The output is a status per product, per market — cleared, action needed or blocked — and the file behind it.

product level evidence

A Digital Product Passport is a data carrier.

The QR code on the label is not the passport. It is the carrier: scanning it resolves to a structured record held against a unique product identifier. The picture shows what a shopper, an auditor or a market surveillance officer sees when they scan a garment — the same file, read at different depths.

Under ESPR the delegated act for textiles sets which fields must be carried, who is accountable for each one, and how long the record must stay available. Badges on a product page are marketing. A Digital Product Passport is a regulated data set with an owner, a date and a source behind every line — and from 2027 it decides whether the product can be placed on the EU market at all.

Market access depends on the product, not just the company.

We track the rules so your product and sourcing teams don't have to.

Regime 01

European Union

ESPR brings Digital Product Passports to textiles, with the delegated act indicatively scheduled for 2027 under the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 and requirements applying around eighteen months after adoption; EmpCo applies from 27 September 2026.

Regime 02

Great Britain

No ESPR equivalent yet, but the CMA can act directly on misleading environmental claims under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act.

Regime 03

United States

No federal regime — obligations are set state by state, including California's SB 707 textile EPR, the FTC Green Guides, and Proposition 65 chemical disclosure.

Regime 04

EEA / EFTA

Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein take EU acts through the EEA Joint Committee on a different timetable; Switzerland is EFTA but not EEA.

standards foundation

Built on the UN/CEFACT UN Transparency Protocol.

Symolem holds a seat on the UN/CEFACT working group developing the UN Transparency Protocol (UNTP), the open standard for verifiable product and sustainability data, and contributed to its public review.

Servicios ESPR

De la exposición a la preparación.
En cuatro etapas.

Cada colaboración comienza con la Evaluación. Cuando se detectan brechas, el Programa Symolem de cuatro etapas — un compromiso estructurado de 13 semanas — las cierra. Cada etapa se apoya en la anterior, moviendo tu negocio de la incertidumbre regulatoria a una posición de cumplimiento verificada y defendible.

ESPR es el ancla — la regulación para la que toda empresa de moda que venda en la UE debe prepararse primero. Pero no llega sola. Rastreamos 50 regulaciones de moda y textil en 14 jurisdicciones — prohibiciones de PFAS, esquemas EPR, aplicación de reclamaciones verdes, normas contra el trabajo forzoso, controles de exportación de residuos — para que nuestros clientes vean el tablero completo, no solo la pieza más grande.

01

Análisis de Brechas ESPR y Hoja de Ruta de Cumplimiento

Mapeamos la posición actual de tu marca frente a las obligaciones ESPR, identificamos las brechas de mayor riesgo y construimos una hoja de ruta de cumplimiento priorizada con hitos claros hasta 2028.

02

Preparación del Pasaporte Digital de Producto

Evaluamos tu infraestructura de datos, comparamos tus productos con el esquema de pasaporte UNTP y la muestra aceptada por el Registro DPP de la UE, identificamos las brechas de datos en tu cadena de suministro y definimos la arquitectura técnica que tu marca requiere.

03

Transparencia de Cadena de Suministro y Datos ESPR

Mapeo multinivel de proveedores, auditoría de circularidad y cálculo de Alcance 3 a nivel de producto para construir la base de evidencia que tu DPP requerirá bajo el Reglamento ESPR 2024/1781. También analizamos a los proveedores de DPP con los que trabajas actualmente, verificando sus resultados frente a la legislación de la UE, porque un cumplimiento que no puede verificarse de forma independiente no es cumplimiento.

Medición de Impacto Regulatorio, HIE®

Con nuestro Marco Human Impact Equivalence® propietario, traducimos tus datos de cumplimiento ESPR en evidencia de impacto estructurada y auditable, cuantificada al estándar que exigen reguladores, inversores y contrapartes institucionales. No más allá de lo que la ley pide. Exactamente lo que exige.

Las evaluaciones se puntúan con una metodología estructurada de 100 puntos, diseñada para la consistencia y la comparabilidad.

Where it goes wrong

Four ESPR questions a buyer, a marketer or an auditor will ask before you are ready.

For retailers and marketplaces

Do we have market access for this product?

Third-party brands arrive with claims and passports you did not make and now share liability for. We give buying and merchandising a status per SKU before the PO is signed: cleared, blocked, or can't determine, with the missing evidence named.

For brands

Can we prove the green claim under EmpCo?

"Responsibly sourced" is marketing until it points at a transaction certificate. Under EmpCo and the UK DMCC it is a liability. Every claim sits in a register tied to its evidence, owner and expiry, and is flagged before it is bought, listed or reprinted.

For brands already on a traceability platform

We have traceability data. Why isn't it a passport?

Tier maps and audit PDFs are not a Digital Product Passport and do not tell you whether a silk blend clears AGEC, PPWR or the textile delegated act. We take the outputs you already hold, map them to the passport fields and the rules, and issue the record and the proof pack.

For sustainability leads and their buyers

An ESPR finding came back red. What now?

A red flag with no remediation path is a stock dropout, a withdrawn claim or a blocked listing. We run a corrective action plan with the supplier, keep the product under containment while it is fixed, and upload the verified resolution back into the platform that raised it.

Plain English

The ESPR and EmpCo questions we get asked most

Short answers, no jargon. If yours is not here, ask us directly and we will answer it the same way.
