We are in the midst of a paradigm shift. For future generations, we must move from a linear to a circular economy. The EU is leading the way. All products sold in Europe will be required to have a digital product passport (DPP). This will be a key tool for traceability, transparency, and sustainability across the value chain. It supports regulatory compliance and opens new business opportunities.
Together with experts from Columbus, Jan Thomas Hagen, Sustainability Manager at Voice Norge AS, and invited guests, we explore what this transition means for your business. From new EU regulations and digital solutions to compliance and the opportunities circularity brings. Discover how your organisation can prepare for a future where sustainability, innovation, and responsibility go hand in hand.
Traceability as a key to sustainability and profitability
DPPs will soon become a requirement across Europe, with the textile industry first in line. In this video, Jan Thomas Hagen from Voice Norge shares the company’s experience of combining sustainability with business development.
Standards as strategic tools
Standards are more than technical details. They form the foundation of efficient and sustainable value chains, enabling traceability, data quality, and controlled product flows. They’re also essential to realising digital product passports.
In this episode, we’re joined by Espen Braathe, Business Development Manager from GS1 Smart Center, the custodians of standards used in global logistics chains, including barcodes. Listen in to understand how shared standards support greater traceability, better data quality, and more circular value creation, and why they’re critical for organisations that want to succeed in the green transition.
Sustainability reporting and the role of ERP systems
ERP solutions are at the core of many organisations. They connect procurement, production, warehousing, sales, and finance. As the focus on traceability and sustainability grows, ERP systems take on a new role. They become key tools in the shift towards DPPs and a circular economy.
Voice Norge uses Infor CloudSuite. In this episode, we challenge Infor on how they’re further developing their extensive data flows to support DPPs and circular business models.
Technology and data as drivers of sustainability
In an increasingly digital world, organisations need to compete for customers’ attention. At the same time, the demand for responsible and environmentally friendly solutions is rising.
Together with Camilla Hetty Osa, Principal Advisor for Digital Commerce at Columbus Norway, we take a closer look at how technology and data can drive sustainable development. We also discuss how future solutions make it possible to combine business value with social responsibility.
