Is a digital product passport available for the supplied products?

Digital product passport is not yet part of the CSRD itself

For most products, there is currently no digital product passport, and the CSRD is not the source that would require this. The CSRD (Directive (EU) 2022/2464) regulates corporate sustainability reporting as a whole: policy, risks and results on ESG topics, reported at company or group level. A product passport with data per item — materials, origin, repair information — is an instrument from a different track, the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR), which is not included in the sources provided. If a customer therefore asks about a product passport with reference to "the CSRD", this is likely an incorrect link in their questionnaire, not an obligation that already follows from this directive.

What is possible: if the company is already reporting under the CSRD, product-related data sometimes comes from it that substantially overlaps with what a passport would show — for example, figures on material use or circularity in the sustainability report. That is then not a passport, but useful text as an explanation for a "no" or "not yet applicable". Origin data often correlate with questions already in the supply chain file, such as in which countries the enterprise has establishments and in which sector the undertaking operates; those two often determine whether a passport requirement becomes relevant.

Where this is stated in the directive

The CSRD amendments are in the articles that establish the reporting obligation and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS); nowhere in these is a product passport mentioned as a mandatory document. For a substantiated answer to this specific question, a different source than the CSRD is therefore needed — until that is available, this part is best left unanswered or explained with a reference to own sector rules.

This answer applies to every type of questionnaire, not only to the cyber questions from your customer, answer it. The full explanation — with the sources, country-specific details and related topics — is on the hub.
