Objectives

• Deliver, in partnership with disclosure scheme implementers, real world applications of UNTP features including, but not limited to:
  • Digital Product Passports (DPP)
  • Digital Facility Records (DFR)
  • Digital Traceability Events (DTE)
• Communicate lessons learnt (+ve & -ve) and implementation tips to help lower UNTP implementation effort
• Develop simple approaches to managing overlapping and parallel data disclosures using the UNTP

Purpose

• Through applying the UNTP to real world and relevant disclosure schemes, we will be able to validate the efficacy of the UNTP solution across different types of supply chains
• Reducing the effort to implement the UNTP will support faster adoption, faster learning cycles and faster improvement of the protocol. This in turn should help accelerate real world adoption.
• By providing approaches to managing overlapping disclosure schemes we can demonstrate the strength of the UNTP as a unifying standard, as opposed to niche focused on one disclosure scheme

Near Term Goals:

1. Demonstrate how to implement UNTP for 2-3 disclosure schemes (or more if more volunteers) by December 2025, starting with:

• EU Battery Passport (inc Due Diligence Req)
• UNECE Textiles extension group

2. Share a detailed but concise lessons learned from existing implementations, by end September, to support demonstration work and any future implementations.
3. Maintain constructive dialogue with key adjacent stakeholders outside of the UNTP on at least quarterly basis:

• Cirpass2
• Scheme owners being implemented and their associated standards bodies

Other Work Coming In:

• Help address how confidentiality changes as data moves and transforms along the supply chain
• Help address how bulk commodity mass balancing (in it's different forms) interacts with UNTP along a supply chain
