Consumer Goods & Retail

Lifecycle governance for a world demanding product accountability.

The EU Product Act, Digital Product Passport, and CSRD are fundamentally changing what consumer goods companies must document, track, and prove about their products. Skyjed gives product teams the lifecycle management infrastructure to meet these obligations — and turn compliance into competitive advantage.

The challenges we solve

Consumer goods & retail product governance is uniquely complex.

Large portfolios, rigorous regulatory obligations, and the need to evidence compliance continuously — Skyjed is built for this environment.

01
Digital Product Passport — the infrastructure doesn't exist yet
The DPP requires structured, machine-readable data about every product's materials, sustainability performance, and lifecycle journey. Most consumer goods companies don't have the centralised data infrastructure this demands — and enforcement is closer than many realise.
Skyjed's Asset Register and lifecycle tracking capabilities map directly to DPP's data requirements — building the foundation now ahead of enforcement.
02
Sustainability claims without documented evidence
Regulators and consumers are increasingly scrutinising sustainability claims — and the EU Green Claims Directive will shortly require that any sustainability claim is substantiated with documented evidence. Most companies making claims don't have the evidence infrastructure to back them.
Skyjed structures sustainability evidence collection within the product lifecycle — so every claim is backed by documentation that can withstand regulatory scrutiny.
03
Product portfolio complexity at scale
Consumer goods companies manage hundreds or thousands of product variants — across multiple markets, categories, and supply chains. Maintaining accurate, current lifecycle data for every product without a centralised system is operationally impossible at scale.
A centralised Asset Register brings every product into a single, structured view — lifecycle stage, sustainability status, compliance documentation, and change history always current.
04
Supply chain traceability obligations
DPP, CSRD, and the EU Due Diligence Directive require companies to document and evidence the sustainability and governance of their supply chains at the product level — not just as a corporate statement. This requires data that most companies don't currently collect in a structured way.
Skyjed structures supply chain and materials data within the product record — building the traceability layer DPP and due diligence obligations require.
05
Packaging compliance across multiple regulations
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the Plastics Levy, and national packaging regulations create a complex, overlapping set of documentation obligations. Managing these at the product level — consistently and accurately — requires structured tooling.
Packaging sustainability data structured within the product lifecycle — PPWR, recycled content, and end-of-life documentation all in one place.
06
Product retirement without governance
Products that are discontinued, recalled, or reformulated need documented retirement processes — for regulatory, legal, and brand protection reasons. Without structured sunsetting workflows, the trail of accountability is thin and the risk accumulates.
Skyjed's structured sunsetting workflows give every retiring product a clear owner, documented decision, and complete evidence trail through to closure.

How Skyjed helps

From reactive compliance to proactive governance.

Here's how Skyjed transforms product governance for consumer goods & retail.

Centralised product registry — every SKU, every market
A structured Asset Register brings every product and variant into a single, governed view — materials, sustainability data, lifecycle stage, compliance status, and change history always accessible and always current.
Asset Register Portfolio visibility

DPP-ready lifecycle documentation
Lifecycle data collection, materials information, and sustainability evidence structured in the format the Digital Product Passport requires — so when enforcement arrives, your product portfolio is already compliant rather than starting from scratch.
DPP readiness ESPR Lifecycle evidence
Substantiated sustainability claims
Every sustainability claim backed by structured, documented evidence collected within the product lifecycle — meeting the EU Green Claims Directive's requirement that claims are verifiable, specific, and defensible.

The commercial case for early action

Retailers and major buyers are already asking their supplier base for lifecycle documentation and sustainability evidence. Consumer goods companies that can provide this — quickly and credibly — will win shelf space, contracts, and partnerships that less-prepared competitors lose. The DPP is a compliance obligation. It’s also a commercial differentiator.

The sustainability compliance landscape
Four regulations. One infrastructure requirement.
The common thread running through ESPR, CSRD, the EU Taxonomy, and PPWR is lifecycle data — structured, evidenced, and traceable at the product level. Organisations that build this infrastructure once will find it serves all four obligations. Those that address each regulation separately will find the overhead compounding.
ESPR / DPP
Digital Product Passport
End-to-end lifecycle documentation and traceability — textiles and electronics are early priority categories.
CSRD
Sustainability reporting
Product-level sustainability data feeds corporate sustainability reports — the data structure overlaps significantly with DPP.
EU Taxonomy
Sustainable finance
Product alignment with taxonomy criteria must be documented at the product level for qualifying organisations.
PPWR
Packaging regulation
Packaging sustainability, recycled content, and end-of-life documentation required at the product level.
