ESPR readiness assessment for apparel and footwear brands

It is a free, 20-question self-assessment that scores your organisation's readiness for the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, focusing on the Article 24 disclosure obligation and the Article 25 destruction ban. It produces a traffic-light score and a downloadable remediation checklist.

Yes, the assessment is free of charge. There is no payment required at any point and no credit card is involved. Your individual question answers stay in your browser; at the end, you provide a work email and company name so we can deliver your results.

At the end, after you have answered all 20 questions, you provide a company name and a work email address so we can deliver your results. We do not accept personal email addresses (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and similar) because this assessment is built for B2B compliance teams. Your individual question answers stay in your browser; only your company name, work email, and the score summary are sent to Flexireo.

Each of the 20 questions is scored, the scores are summed per category and overall, and the totals are converted to a traffic-light rating (Red, Amber, or Green). The categories follow the structure of the ESPR Article 24 disclosure obligation: entity scope, data infrastructure, workflow infrastructure, documentation, and reporting.

No. It is a self-assessment tool based on your own answers. It is orientative; it is not legal advice, not an audit, and not a compliance certification. For a definitive view of your obligations, consult qualified legal counsel.

For large enterprises placing apparel and footwear on the EU market, the ESPR Article 25 destruction ban takes effect on 19 July 2026. Destroying unsold apparel and footwear becomes prohibited unless one of the ten derogations applies and is documented. The standardised Article 24 disclosure format applies from 2 March 2027.

About five minutes. It is 20 questions; you answer one question at a time and can step back to revise earlier answers.

Green indicates strong readiness with only minor gaps. Amber indicates partial readiness with priority gaps to close before the deadline. Red indicates significant gaps; the remediation checklist is the starting point, and the data and documentation categories are usually the right priorities.
