Why LkSG and DPP need shared data work
LkSG is not a product-pass regime and DPP data does not replace a due-diligence management system. In practice, suppliers, materials, origin information, certificates, risk indicators and action status overlap.
The consulting work connects these data types carefully: product-pass data stays product-level, LkSG processes stay governance and risk management. The shared data structure prevents duplicate maintenance and makes evidence findable.
What the supply-chain data structure clarifies
Nulara works with procurement, compliance, sustainability and product teams on a structure that links supplier evidence with product groups and bills of materials.
- Suppliers: Assign roles, locations, product-group links, documents and responsibilities clearly.
- Risk indicators: Maintain risk information as governance context next to product data, without claiming it as a DPP obligation.
- Evidence: Manage certificates, declarations, test reports and action status with version and validity.
- Audit trail: Store changes, approvals and sources so product and supply-chain questions remain traceable.
Consulting outcome
- Mapping of supplier, material and product-pass data
- Evidence structure for documents, risks and action status
- Role model for procurement, compliance, sustainability and product teams
- Roadmap for shared data maintenance without mixing LkSG and DPP regimes
Sources and next steps
LkSG-DPP consulting separates due-diligence obligations from product-pass data and uses official BAFA/BMAS sources.

LkSG-DPP consulting FAQ
- Does the product passport replace LkSG processes?
- No. DPP data does not replace risk management or LkSG obligations. It can structure product-adjacent evidence, supplier data and audit trails.
- Should LkSG data become public in the product passport?
- Not universally. Access layers, roles and confidentiality need to be separated carefully. Many data points remain internal or partner-facing.
- Which teams should be involved?
- Procurement, compliance, sustainability, quality and product teams should jointly define which supply-chain evidence can be reused at product level.
