Tell us about your company.
Fabacus is a global technology company headquartered in London, specialising in trusted product data, licensing technology, compliance, and Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Originally founded to solve the complex challenges of managing global licensing programmes, our technology has evolved into a powerful platform that enables brands, retailers, licensors, licensees, and manufacturers to create a single, trusted source of product truth.
At the heart of our offering is the Fabacus Compliant Catalogue, a structured and governed product data platform that aggregates, validates, and enriches product information from across the supply chain. This enables organisations to improve product transparency, streamline regulatory compliance, and prepare for emerging legislation such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and other global sustainability frameworks.
As Digital Product Passports move from concept to reality, we are helping some of the world’s leading brands and retailers transform fragmented product information into trusted, verifiable, and scalable digital assets. Our belief is simple: successful DPPs are built on data, not QR codes. The Compliant Catalogue provides the foundation that makes DPPs possible at scale.
What is your area of expertise and how can product brands benefit from working with you?
Fabacus specialises in helping organisations create, govern, verify, and utilise trusted product data across the entire product lifecycle.
As regulatory requirements continue to expand across Europe and globally, businesses are facing increasing pressure to understand their products, supply chains, environmental impacts, and compliance obligations. We help brands and retailers build the data foundations required to meet these challenges while unlocking significant commercial value.
Our expertise includes:
- Digital Product Passport strategy, implementation, and deployment.
- Creation of compliant product data catalogues that support current and future legislation, including ESPR, EPR, PPWR, CSRD, CSDDD, EUDR, CBAM, and other emerging frameworks.
- Product and supply chain data mapping, validation, governance, and verification.
- QR code management, product identification, and consumer engagement solutions.
- Advisory support to help businesses understand regulatory requirements and prepare practical implementation roadmaps.
- Licensing and product data management across complex global licensing ecosystems.
By creating a trusted system of record for product data, organisations can reduce compliance risk, improve operational efficiency, strengthen supplier engagement, enhance product transparency, and create new opportunities for customer engagement, circularity, resale, repair, and sustainability reporting.
What product brands have you worked with previously?
Fabacus works with a broad range of global brands, retailers, licensors, and manufacturers across fashion, homewares, general merchandise, and consumer products.
Our Digital Product Passport and Compliant Catalogue programmes have included organisations such as Nobody’s Child, Tesco, Chinti & Parker and Pure Table Top and several leading UK and international retailers currently preparing for future regulatory requirements.
Alongside our DPP work, we continue to support some of the world’s largest licensing programmes, helping brands, licensors, and licensees manage product information, approvals, royalties, compliance obligations, and supply chain data through a single trusted platform.
Our experience across both licensing and product compliance provides a unique perspective on the challenges organisations face as product transparency becomes increasingly important.
What has been a significant achievement in your company’s timeline?
One of the most significant achievements for Fabacus has been successfully evolving our licensing technology heritage into a market leading Digital Product Passport and Compliant Catalogue solution.
Long before DPPs became a regulatory priority, we were already solving many of the underlying data challenges associated with product transparency, governance, supply chain collaboration, and product authentication. This positioned us uniquely to help businesses prepare for the next generation of product compliance requirements.
We are particularly proud of our work with Nobody’s Child, one of the earliest and most advanced examples of Digital Product Passport deployment within the fashion industry. Since launching its first DPP programme in 2023, the initiative has evolved through multiple iterations and has now been rolled out across the brand’s entire product range through a fully automated process.
We have also played an active role in industry working groups and collaborative initiatives helping shape the future of Digital Product Passports, product transparency, and data interoperability. This includes participation in European initiatives exploring how DPPs, registries, validation frameworks, and data standards can work together to support future regulatory requirements.
Tell us about an exciting development or new launch for your brand in 2026.
A major focus for Fabacus in 2026 is the continued evolution of our Compliant Catalogue platform and its ability to support organisations preparing for Digital Product Passports and broader regulatory compliance requirements.
As legislation continues to develop, businesses are increasingly recognising that compliance cannot be achieved through standalone tools or disconnected datasets. Our latest developments focus on helping organisations create a single governed source of product data that can support multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously.
One of our most exciting initiatives is the development of the next generation of Digital Product Passports, incorporating the latest guidance, recommendations, and emerging requirements being developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) to support the implementation of ESPR. This latest evolution moves beyond basic compliance and demonstrates how structured, verified product data can deliver meaningful value to consumers, brands, retailers, regulators, and circular economy partners.
We intend to launch this latest generation DPP with Nobody’s Child, building on one of the fashion industry’s most established Digital Product Passport programmes. The objective is to provide the retail industry with a practical, real world example of what is possible when trusted product data, consumer engagement, transparency, circularity, and compliance are brought together through a single digital experience.
The new DPP will showcase how businesses can move beyond simply meeting legislative requirements and instead use Digital Product Passports as a strategic asset that delivers value throughout the product lifecycle. By demonstrating the art of the possible today, we hope to help brands and retailers better understand the opportunities that lie ahead as DPP requirements become a reality across Europe.
Alongside this, we continue to work with leading retailers and brands on pilot programmes that demonstrate how a Compliant Catalogue can support Digital Product Passports, supply chain transparency, product traceability, sustainability reporting, and consumer engagement from a single trusted data foundation.
By helping businesses build the data infrastructure today, we are ensuring they are prepared not only for Digital Product Passports, but for the wider digital transformation of product information that is rapidly emerging across global markets.
