Supply Chain Mapping

EU ESPR and French AGEC regulations require brands to publish geographic traceability of their supply chains — specifically disclosing where assembly, dyeing, fabric production, yarn spinning, and raw material sourcing take place. Passr makes this straightforward with a visual, node-based supply chain mapper.

​
1. Understanding Supply Chain Nodes

A node represents a single facility or processing stage in your garment’s production journey. Each product can have multiple nodes connected in sequence, forming a complete chain from raw material to finished product.

​
Node Types

French AGEC Requirement: The AGEC law specifically mandates disclosure of the assembly/sewing, dyeing, and fabric production locations for garments sold in France. Adding these three node types ensures your product is AGEC-compliant.

​
2. Adding a Supply Chain Node

  1. Open a product and go to the Supply Chain tab
  2. Click Add Node
  3. Fill in the node details:
  1. Click Save Node
Nodes are displayed both as a sequential list and on an interactive map within the product’s Supply Chain tab.

​
3. The Production Chain Diagram

Once nodes are added, Passr renders them as a visual flow diagram showing the lifecycle journey of your garment:
This diagram is displayed directly on the consumer-facing public passport page, giving shoppers full visibility into where their garment was made.

​
4. Interactive Consumer Map

On the public Digital Product Passport, supply chain nodes are rendered on an interactive world map:
  • Each node appears as a pin at its geographic location
  • Consumers can click a pin to view facility details
  • The chain of custody is drawn as a route connecting nodes in sequence
  • Country flags and facility names are shown in the sidebar
This feature directly satisfies the French AGEC geographic traceability mandate and goes beyond minimum requirements to build genuine consumer trust.

​
5. Supply Chain Best Practices

At minimum, include the assembly, dyeing, and fabric production nodes to satisfy French AGEC. For ESPR, aim to trace back to yarn spinning or raw material sourcing where possible — this maximises your passport’s completeness score and future-proofs against stricter coming regulations.
Use the Supplier Portal to send a data request directly to your factory. They can fill in their own facility details through a secure upload form — no Passr account needed on their side.
Yes. If the same dyeing facility is used across many styles, you only need to add it once and can reuse it across your catalog. Passr links facilities to the specific products that use them.
