Join us for an engaging afternoon dedicated to exploring the role of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) in driving circularity across value chains on 1 September, in Geneva!
The event will feature presentations on the CE-RISE Information System, insights into measuring circular strategies and their social, economic, and environmental impacts, as well as real-world applications, including a case study from Viessmann Climate Solutions.
The panel discussion will address the global outlook on DPP adoption, regulatory alignment, and the perspectives of both large corporations and SMEs.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with experts and stakeholders shaping the future of digital circular solutions in Europe and beyond!

Global Adoption Landscape
- Which regions/countries are considering introducing DPP schemes beyond Europe?
- With which purpose (e.g., circularity, market access, regulatory compliance)?
Regulatory Alignment and Standardisation
- What does the EU DPP regulation imply for non-EU jurisdictions?
- Are there existing international standards (e.g., ITU, ISO) that could form a baseline?
- What issues arise when trying to harmonise DPP requirements across different regulatory frameworks?
Business and Industry Perspective
- What DPP means to global corporations.
- What DPP means to SMEs ?
- To what extent are differently sized companies prepared to integrate DPPs into their existing supply‐chain IT systems?
- Motivations beyond compliance: marketing, consumer trust, resource efficiency, brand differentiation.
