Problem

You already paid for the proof. Now make it sell.

A badge worth wearing

Every claim on your pack linked to its evidence, scope and review status. Turn "trust us" into "see for yourself".

Story that sells

One scan shows the journey from farm to shelf. Give shoppers a reason to pick you up and give them a story worth repeating.

Audit you stop dreading

EUDR and due-diligence records stay audit-ready as you go. When the request comes, it is one export, not a scramble.

Benefits

Where the return shows up

Where the return shows up

A passport is not a compliance cost with a nice interface. It works on four lines of your P&L.

Price

The story behind your price

A provable origin story is the difference between a price and a justification. The scan gives shoppers a reason to accept yours.

Prevention

Costs you stop paying

Audit scrambles, repeated buyer questionnaires, reworking claims that cannot be substantiated. One evidence pack, reused everywhere.

Placement

Market access

Retail buyers and importers ask for evidence before they list you. Arriving with a passport answers the questionnaire before the meeting.

Repeat

The loyalty loop

Every scan is a direct channel: story, newsletter, community, next purchase. Your pack becomes media you own.

The timing is the point

EmpCo applies from 27 September 2026, retail is moving to 2D barcodes by end 2027, and the first brand in a category to make its claims scannable sets the bar the rest get measured against.

Open Food Chain helped us improve traceability and data accuracy throughout the supply chain. It makes data exchange so much easier.

FAQ

The questions buyers ask first

Where does revenue come from?

Four places. Price: a provable story supports the price you already believe your product deserves. Placement: buyers and importers increasingly require evidence before listing you. Repeat: the scan opens a direct channel to the shopper for the next purchase. Prevention: one organised evidence pack replaces audit scrambles and repeated questionnaires. We do not promise numbers on this page; we show you the mechanism and let the pilot prove it on your product.

How fast can it go live?

A draft passport is often ready the same day once complete product data and evidence are in. Going live then depends on claim review and your QR or packaging rollout. Most brands start with a QR sticker on a single batch.

Do we need to change our IT systems?

No. We work with what you already have: certificates, supplier statements, spreadsheets, existing traceability exports. Your operations do not change.

How do I add this FAQ component to my project?

After duplicating, copy and paste the component into your Framer project. Then edit the questions, answers, styles, and animations as needed.

Does this make us EUDR compliant?

No software alone makes an operator compliant, and anyone who promises that is overselling. What we do: the proof you must collect is organised, linked and kept audit-ready, so your due-diligence work is inspectable in one place instead of scattered across inboxes.

Does this help with EmpCo, the Empowering Consumers Directive?

EmpCo applies from 27 September 2026. It bans generic claims like "green" or "eco-friendly" without recognised proof, and sustainability labels that are not backed by a certification scheme with independent monitoring. A passport does not make a claim legal by itself, and responsibility stays with the brand. What it does: every claim you publish carries its scope, evidence and review status, which is exactly the substantiation EmpCo expects you to have behind the words on your pack.

Does this get us ready for GS1 Digital Link and the 2D barcode transition?

Yes. Under GS1's Sunrise 2027 initiative, retailers are preparing to scan 2D barcodes such as QR codes at checkout by the end of 2027. A passport QR structured as a GS1 Digital Link carries your GTIN and batch reference, so one code on pack can serve the till, the buyer and the shopper's passport instead of printing separate codes.

What stays on the pack and what moves into the passport?

Legally required label information stays on pack. Certification details, the origin story, journey, batch data and extra codes can move into the passport behind one QR. Because the passport is dynamic, that information updates without reprinting the pack.

Who verifies the claims?

It depends on the claim, and the passport says so. Evidence can be customer-declared, certificate-based or third-party reviewed, and each claim shows which model applies, its scope and the responsible organisation. Published records are versioned, so a claim cannot be silently edited after the fact.

Do shoppers need an app?

No. The passport opens in the phone camera and browser they already use. One scan, no download, no account.

Who sees which information?

Public, buyer-only and internal views are separated. Confidential supplier and due-diligence detail never needs to appear in the consumer-facing passport.

Can claims be changed or removed?

Yes, deliberately. Claims are versioned and reviewed when evidence, validity periods or product conditions change, and outdated claims can be withdrawn. The history keeps its date and review status.

What happens after the pilot?

Nothing you do not choose. Keep your product live at €250 a month, add more products, or stop. There is no lock-in and your data remains yours.
