Provenant and QCM Partner to Bring Guided Digital Product Passport Preparation to the Nordic Market

Provenant today announced a strategic partnership with QCM to deliver guided Digital Product Passport (DPP) preparation services to organisations across the Nordic market. As the European Union advances toward mandatory Digital Product Passports under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), this collaboration will help Nordic businesses understand their compliance obligations, assess their readiness, and take a practical first step toward implementation, with real products and real data.

QCM, a Sweden-based consultancy specialising in digital transformation, PLM, sustainability data and change management, will prepare organisations for their DPP obligations leveraging Provenant's specialist DPP platform as a live testing environment for this structured guided pilot offering. With deep expertise in information management, data governance and organisational change, QCM is well-positioned to help Nordic organisations navigate the complexity of DPP preparation before committing to full-scale implementation.

Through the partnership, QCM will offer a Guided DPP Preparation Pilot; combining QCM's independent DPP readiness consulting with hands-on access to Provenant's purpose-built Digital Product Passport platform. By using the platform as a practical sandbox, the pilot is designed to give organisations not just a general introduction to regulation, but a tangible, practical view of their DPP readiness. By the end of the engagement, clients leave with an understanding of Digital Product Passport requirements, two draft DPPs, a data gap analysis, a readiness assessment across people, processes, systems and data maturity, and a clear set of recommended next steps for moving toward wider implementation.

"The Nordic market includes a significant concentration of manufacturers and exporters in sectors that will be directly impacted by ESPR — from textiles and furniture to steel and beyond," said Matthew Ekholm, Commercial Director at Provenant. "What we consistently hear from organisations in this region is that they understand compliance is coming, but they aren't yet sure what it means in practice for their specific products and data. Our partnership with QCM addresses exactly that gap. QCM brings exceptional depth in digital transformation and information management, and together we can offer Nordic businesses a clear, structured and low-risk first step; working with their own products on a real platform, and leaving with practical experience and a clear roadmap."
