TrusTrace, Xoriant and Carbon Trail: Product Claims Solution for Brands

TrusTrace, a global SaaS company with a market-leading platform for product traceability and supply chain compliance in fashion and retail, announced a strategic collaboration with platform engineering firm Xoriant and environmental impact data leader Carbon Trail to deliver a comprehensive solution that supports international brands that want to implement more product marketing accountability.

The new solution is the first-of-its-kind in the industry and leverages Xoriant’s strong data architecture, Carbon Trail’s environmental impact data, and TrusTrace’s supply chain traceability data to provide brands with the information they need to market their products with specific details on how they’re made and where.

This new technological solution coincides with the implementation of the Green Claims Code, which launched in 2021 and was updated in 2023 to factor in product-specific environmental impact and strives to ensure that claims are clear, accurate and not misleading; provide specific and clear information about materials used; use accurate product filters and avoid misleading imagery; and support claims with verifiable strategics and third party accreditation.

On the data side, brands need to measure environmental impact on a product level, not only just related to carbon, but covering 16+ indicators such as water, land use, and microfibre impacts. Once environmental impact and supply chain data is aggregated, information can then be incorporated into a Digital Product Passport, a record that can tell a product's entire value chain via QR code/digital tag that will be required for EU brands between 2026-2030. For example, a buyer can theoretically scan a product’s QR code and be taken to a unique URL link in which the environmental impact for that specific product is available to view. This can be displayed alongside traceability data – like where the product has been manufactured – in addition to other information like recyclability, microplastics, product certifications, all those elements also come into play.

The Forced Labor Prevention solution combines the power of AI to manage large quantities of data from complex supply chains with scalable collection of primary data per purchase order, which is screened and validated for risk, ensuring brands have validated evidence at a product and shipment level.

The solution collects primary data directly from suppliers to ensure detailed and reliable information about facilities, products, and materials. The primary data collected through the TrusTrace solution is specific to the context of the traced products, contrary to solutions leveraging third party data, which can introduce large quantities of irrelevant information from various sources, creating ‘noise’ that can obscure critical insights and quickly become unmanageable. TrusTrace has traced more than two million purchase orders to date and has more than 55,000 suppliers and facilities mapped globally, demonstrating the capacity to automate the collection of primary data at very large scale.

The data is proactively screened for risk against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entity list, and the solution can integrate with any relevant risk screening database.

AI-Powered Chain of Custody Creation and Document Collection drives speed, accuracy and cost savings, making it quick and easy to gain supply chain visibility and stay on top of documentation for compliance. The FLP solution can classify, extract, and translate large volumes of documents in over 100 languages, facilitating the creation of a digital chain of custody, and transforming traditionally time-consuming manual processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing the likelihood of human error.

15 brands worldwide are already using TrusTrace for forced labor prevention, including Vera Bradley, who see proactive supply chain traceability and data management as key in achieving their ESG commitments.

TrusTrace launches Playbook for fashion industry

TrusTrace, a global SaaS company with a market-leading platform for supply chain traceability and compliance in fashion and retail, announced the launch of its third playbook entitled, “Unlocking DPP: The Why, What and How of Digital Product Passports.”

Unveiled at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, the playbook offers a guide for fashion industry professionals grappling with the data collection and implementation of the widely anticipated Digital Product Passport, which will come into force in the European Union between 2026-2030. The book busts some common myths and misconceptions about the DPP, and offers a data protocol for brands to follow to start collecting DPP data and setting up their digital systems for DPP implementation.

Unveiled at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, the playbook offers a guide for fashion industry professionals grappling with the data collection and implementation of the widely anticipated Digital Product Passport, which will come into force in the European Union between 2026-2030. The book busts some common myths and misconceptions about the DPP, and offers a data protocol for brands to follow to start collecting DPP data and setting up their digital systems for DPP implementation.

The guide, which has been authored by journalist Brooke Roberts-Islam, opens with ‘The Why’ of the DPP, breaking down the complex set of incoming EU legislation, and explaining why DPP is an essential tool for achieving the EU’s legally-binding commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The guide highlights the significant data gaps and how the DPP will address these by collecting and sharing circularity data.

‘The What’ section explains the three core components of the DPP: product data, unique identifiers and the required interoperable IT system (for decentralized data sharing). This section also offers a breakdown of who and what is in scope, along with the required data systems. ‘The When’ offers all brands an essential overview of the DPP timeline and requirements for textile products under the ESPR.

‘The How’ provides brands with the essential steps to successfully collect data and implement a DPP scheme. The insights in this chapter are derived from the Trace4Value project, a live DPP pilot led by TrusTrace to test an end-to-end DPP data and system infrastructure for textile products entering the EU market. The pilot cohort embedded DPP carriers with live data into selected Kappahl and Marimekko products, which launched on the market in early 2024.

PIP Global Safety selected TrusTrace platform for traceability needs

TrusTrace, a SaaS (Software as a Service) company with a platform for supply chain traceability and compliance data management, announced that PIP Global Safety, a supplier of protective workwear equipment with over 30 brands globally, has selected the TrusTrace platform to support its traceability needs, including evidence collection to prove compliance for the UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act).

PIP Global Safety will now leverage verified, real-time data on the TrusTrace platform to provide deeper visibility into the cotton used within the Company’s PPE and workwear products. The partnership will also improve the efficiency of chain of custody data collection for UFLPA compliance – a U.S. regulation that is compelling companies to assess risks in their supply chain and implement processes to ensure that suppliers are not using forced labor.

PIP Global Safety previously managed their supply chain traceability manually; now, TrusTrace will automate the process, changing how data is collected, digitized and shared. “After an extensive vetting process, we selected TrusTrace as our traceability platform because of their ability to provide us with detailed, product-level data that enables us to thoroughly and accurately map our supply chains,” said Nathan McCormick, Senior VP of Operations & Integrated Supply Chain at PIP Global Safety. “While a lot of laws and regulations around due diligence have not yet come into force, we are taking a proactive approach to ensure that we’re ahead of the curve to support our customers’ needs while proactively monitoring for risk of forced labor in our supply chain.”

In addition to supporting regulatory compliance, TrusTrace supports PIP Global Safety’s long-standing sustainability and social responsibility initiatives. PIP Global Safety has pledged to continually identify opportunities to minimize their environmental footprint while still maximizing protection against occupational hazards. This commitment extends to multiple aspects of the business, including Manufacturing Processes, Sustainability-Driven Programs, Recycled Products, Social Sustainability and Future Initiatives.

Transparente Mode: I:CO beteiligt sich am Traceability Playbook

SOEX Tochtergesellschaft I:CO wirkte an der Erstellung eines Handbuchs mit, das dabei helfen soll, die Rückverfolgung von Produkten und Materialien innerhalb der Modebranche zu vereinfachen. Unter dem Namen „Traceability Playbook“ veröffentlichte das Team von TrusTrace in Zusammenarbeit mit Fashion for Good und Fashion Revolution eine Anleitung, wie Unternehmen einen Überblick über die Herkunft, Bewegung und Entwicklung von Produkten und Materialien bekommen und kommunizieren können. I:CO legte dafür Informationen über seine Zusammenarbeit mit den großen Marken Mango und H&M offen.

Damit Transparenz Realität wird – sowohl intern als auch extern – streben immer mehr Marken eine Rückverfolgung ihrer gesamten Lieferketten an. Umso mehr Bestandteile und Materialien Teil der Wertschöpfungskette sind, desto komplexer wird die Umsetzung. Das gilt insbesondere für die Modebranche, in der Marken, Hersteller und Lieferanten oft über mehrere Kontinente verteilt sind. Um eine Rückverfolgung möglich zu machen, braucht es eine engere Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der Branche, Automatisierung und datengesteuerte Systeme, das liefert das Traceability Playbook.

Um eine Rückverfolgung möglich zu machen, braucht es eine engere Zusammenarbeit innerhalb der Branche, Automatisierung und datengesteuerte Systeme, das liefert das Traceability Playbook.

Der Leitfaden bietet daher sowohl aktuelle Einblicke als auch Beispiele für bewährte Verfahren und Fachwissen von Vordenkern der Branche. Um aufzuschlüsseln, wie die Sortierung von getragener Kleidung zur Wiederverwendung und Wiederverwertung optimal gestaltet werden kann, gewährte I:CO Einblick in die Zusammenarbeit mit Marken wie H&M und Mango und in die Geschäftspraktiken als Dienstleister im Bereich Sortierung und Recycling.

Das Traceability Playbook wurde erstellt, um den nachhaltigen Wandel in der Modeindustrie voranzutreiben und ist ein vollständiger Leitfaden für die Rückverfolgbarkeit der Lieferkette. Es wurde von TrusTrace in Zusammenarbeit mit Fashion Revolution und Fashion for Good verfasst und stützt sich auf die Expertise von Vordenkern der Branche. Als offene Ressource ist das Handbuch kostenlos und für jeden zugänglich, der mehr über die Rückverfolgbarkeit erfahren möchte und darüber, wie sie genutzt werden kann.

Das Handbuch ist ein Plädoyer für Transparenz und Rückverfolgung auf Produkt- und Materialebene. Denn der Druck auf die Unternehmen wächst, allein durch die politischen Vorstöße für ein europäisches Lieferkettengesetz hat die Rückverfolgung von der Herstellung bis zur Entsorgung deutlich an Wichtigkeit gewonnen. Das Lieferkettengesetz soll EU-Firmen dazu verpflichten, ihre Zulieferer entlang der gesamten globalen Lieferkette zu überprüfen, inklusive aller direkter und indirekter Geschäftsbeziehungen.
