By signing the pledge, organisations commit to the following principles:
Information is meaningful, complete, and directly supports decisions made along the supply chain.
Product information is supported by credible evidence and can be independently verified.
Data is visible to those who need it, supporting clarity and accountability.
Systems protect sensitive commercial information while maintaining trust in data integrity.
Traceability systems integrate with existing platforms and avoid creating data silos.
Systems evolve over time as technology advances and industry needs change.
These principles are detailed further within the Traceability and Digitalisation Guide.
