Tesco is introducing digital passports for its clothes range to enhance supply chain transparency, following new EU rules that require businesses to provide detailed information on materials and environmental impact of their products. The grocery giant will offer customers more information about each garment’s sourcing through its F&F fashion collection. Over the next eight years, these requirements will be extended to other industries, with fines and potential bans for non-compliance. M&S-backed Nobody’s Child has already implemented digital product passports to promote sustainability.
