Global regulations are advancing, increasing pressure on complex supply chains. From 1 February 2027, every battery with a capacity greater than 2 kWh placed on the EU market must be accompanied by a Digital Product Passport. By August 2027, those passports must stand behind due diligence obligations; documented supply chain policies, independent verification, risk assessments and annual public reporting. The EU Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR), coming into force 14 December 2027, further requires organisations to trace and evidence working conditions deep in their supply chains or face having products removed from the market. Different rules, the same underlying need: prove what is happening across a complex, multi-tiered supply chain, or face exclusion, import bans and lasting reputational damage.

Many companies are still deciding. Others have already moved.

Ford Otosan, Poweroad, REPT Battero, Lucid, Aston Martin and Vale run some of the most complex supply chains in their sectors. They are the first to go live on Circulor 2.0; built for supply chain compliance at industrial scale. They are ahead of the deadline. They are not scrambling to meet it.

The problem Circulor 2.0 was built to solve

Compliance teams are trying to do something specific: demonstrate full regulatory adherence across complex, multi-tiered supply chains without disrupting production, overwhelming internal resources, or leaving gaps for regulators to find.

The challenge is structural. Supply chains span multiple countries and obligations that keep shifting, and most organisations manage this across disconnected systems. That fragmentation creates blind spots and under audit or enforcement, blind spots become liabilities.

By February 2027, organisations need to issue passports at production volume, track supplier compliance in real time, respond to supply chain events with full visibility, and surface non-compliance before it becomes an enforcement issue. Manual coordination, siloed data and reactive workflows cannot deliver that at scale. Circulor 2.0 can.

One connected view of your supply chain

The heart of Circulor 2.0 is one change with a lot of consequences: your supply chain is no longer a set of disconnected records to be assembled on demand, it's a single, connected picture you can move through, from an individual product to the full network of facilities behind it.

Built on regulatory standards, by experts

CEN/CENELEC, through JTC24, has specified the interoperability rules DPPs must follow: unique product identifiers, standardised data formats that enable regulatory interoperability, identity and access rights management, and audit-grade data integrity.

Critically, JTC24 standards specify that DPPs must be backed by an independent certified third-party provider.

Circulor’s technical team is actively engaged in JTC24 and other regulatory working groups, so the platform is built to the standard as it is being written, not adapted to it after publication. As well as being ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, ensuring that security, data integrity, and quality management meet international standards.

Proven at industrial scale

Circulor was the first provider to deploy Digital Battery Passports at full industrial scale with Volvo cars. More than 550,000 live passports are already in production across regulated industries, built on years of work in real manufacturing environments at production volume. Circulor 2.0 is built on that foundation, and is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified for security, data integrity and quality management.

For organisations moving to Circulor 2.0, our implementation team brings years of hands-on experience deploying compliance infrastructure across some of the world’s most complex supply chains, experience embedded directly into onboarding, so the move is structured, supported and does not disrupt operations already under regulatory pressure.

That foundation is why organisations like Ford Otosan, Poweroad, REPT, Lucid, Aston Martin and Vale are already working on Circulor 2.0. They're using it to do the same job: turn a fragmented supply chain into a single, connected view, so the data regulators and auditors ask for is something they can see rather than scramble to assemble, so they can meet compliance deadlines as leaders, not latecomers.
