In line with our long term focus on creating increased transparency in supply chain, we were fortunate to help establish this Company together with DNV and founder management. There is a growing need globally for accountability, transparency and trust throughout supply chains. Regulators are initiating requirements for reasonable assurance and due diligence by third parties for sustainability data, so companies need to adopt practices similar to accounting practices for finance data. To increase transparency and drive behavioural changes like circularity, regulators are initiating product centric approaches like the Digital Product Passport. Complying with all this comes with a cost which will be prohibitive for many companies and it is a shared problem throughout the supply chains. ComplAi takes a novel approach in that we allow everybody to benefit from more efficient collaboration, to allow for seamless independent assessment and re-use of claims and evidence across overlapping standards and stakeholders on a continuous basis. And we are asset centric from day one, meaning that the results from all the activities in ComplAi is instantly available for Digital Product Passports (DPP, check European legislation). Our approach helps not only to reduce the cost for individual companies, but also to share the cost up and down the supply chains where all benefit from a more efficient process.
