## Traceability starts with OpenEPCIS

![World map with means of transport |](/img/supply-chain.svg)

OpenEPCIS is an open, GS1-conformant platform for managing EPCIS event data according to the GS1 EPCIS 2.0 standard.  Organizations can capture, store, query and share events along their supply chains in a standardized way. The resulting data is interoperable, machine-readable, and designed for future requirements. The platform is built entirely on open standards like EPCIS 2.0, CBV and JSON-LD. It's modular and easily integrates into existing IT landscapes—either on-premises or in the cloud.

OpenEPCIS supports both EPCIS 1.2 and EPCIS 2.0, enabling seamless integration of legacy infrastructures and the creation of new, standards-conformant systems. Combining open source, API accessibility, and validated standard conformance, OpenEPCIS is the ideal foundation for supply-chain transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance.

## Ready for EUDR, CSDDD & CSRD

### OpenEPCIS Provides the Evidence You Need

Regulatory demands are rising—whether for sustainability, due diligence, or transparency.<br />


OpenEPCIS helps you meet requirements like

- **EUDR** – EU Deforestation-Free Supply Chains Regulation
- **CSDDD** – Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive
- **CSRD** – Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

The platform delivers **structured event data** across the entire supply chain, ensuring it can be traced, analyzed, and integrated into existing systems.<br />


This creates the foundations for:

- Regulatory proof
- ESG reports
- Digital audits

ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance) can also be documented in detail—from origin details to handoffs to sustainability labels.
