Linee guida per la compliance alla legge AGEC: strumenti per pratiche sostenibili – Aggiornate al 2023

The French AGEC law introduces specific requirements that directly impact how companies manage product information, transparency, and traceability.

This one pager provides a structured overview of the key obligations and how they connect to broader Digital Product Passport requirements at EU level.

Understanding these national regulations is essential for companies operating in France, as they often anticipate or complement upcoming European frameworks.

Understanding AGEC in the broader context

The AGEC law is part of a wider regulatory shift towards product-level transparency and circularity. While it applies at national level, its principles are closely aligned with the direction of the ESPR and the Digital Product Passport.

This creates an overlap where companies must address both immediate national requirements and future EU-wide obligations.

Rather than treating AGEC as a standalone regulation, it should be considered as an early step in a broader transformation of product data management.

Inside the document

• A clear overview of AGEC law requirements and scope
• What companies must already comply with in France
• How AGEC connects to upcoming Digital Product Passport requirements
• Key areas of impact on product data, labeling, and transparency
• Practical guidance to support implementation

Where companies face challenges

The main challenge lies in integrating AGEC requirements into existing systems and processes.

Companies often need to:

• Adapt product data structures to meet new transparency obligations
• Align internal teams across compliance, product, and IT
• Ensure consistency between national and EU-level requirements
• Coordinate data collection across suppliers and partners
  

Without a structured approach, these requirements risk being managed in isolation, creating inefficiencies over time.

From national compliance to scalable systems

Addressing AGEC requirements can serve as a foundation for broader Digital Product Passport readiness.

Companies that use this phase to structure their data, define governance, and align systems are better positioned to scale their approach when EU requirements become mandatory.

This shifts compliance from a reactive exercise to a more strategic capability.

Perché questo è importante adesso

The AGEC law is already in force, meaning companies must act in the short term while also preparing for future EU regulations.

Starting early allows organizations to align national compliance efforts with long-term Digital Product Passport implementation, reducing duplication and improving overall efficiency.
