ESPR readiness check
Eight questions, two minutes, no email required. You get a score, the gap that matters most, and the three things worth doing next.

Why these questions
A Digital Product Passport is not a statement of intent — it is a set of fields that either have evidence behind them or do not. Almost every field a textile passport will require describes something that happened at a supplier: who assembled the product, who made the fabric, where the fibre came from, who certified it. So the questions ask about those relationships rather than about policies, targets or an existing sustainability report.
The weighting follows how hard the data is to reach, not how much of it there is. Knowing your assembly factory is worth less than knowing your mill, and knowing your mill is worth less than tracing the fibre, because each tier down is a supplier you have no contract with and no leverage over. Catalogue size is worth the least of all: it changes how long the work takes, not whether you can do it. A small brand that knows its chain scores far above a large one that does not.
The last question is about your customers for a reason. The binding ESPR dates for textiles are still years out, but retailers and marketplaces are asking for this data now, with their own deadlines attached — and they can stop buying, which no regulator will do first. A high score is not a compliance verdict and this tool does not give you one. It tells you where the chain is thin, and the supplier network is how that part gets filled in.
