Drive Transparency, Trust, and Engagement with Akeneo Product Cloud

Today’s consumers demand more than just quality products—they want transparency about how products are made, who makes them, and their environmental impact. For brands, showcasing sustainability efforts isn’t just a trend; it’s a vital part of building trust, strengthening brand loyalty, and demonstrating your commitment to making a positive impact on the planet.

With Akeneo Product Cloud, you can provide clear, accurate product information that aligns with your brand values and sustainability goals. From carbon footprint data to ethical sourcing certifications, Akeneo enables you to share the right information at the right time—empowering your consumers to make informed and responsible purchasing decisions.

Leading Enterprises Choose Akeneo for Communicating their Brand Values

Communicate your brand values through product information

Consumers today expect brands to embody values like sustainability, ethics, and transparency. Akeneo Product Cloud helps you seamlessly integrate your brand’s values into your product information. Whether you’re sharing the eco-friendliness of materials or the ethical sourcing of your supply chain, the more transparent you are, the more connected consumers will feel to your brand.

Empower consumers with certification and sustainability labels

Product certifications, such as B Corp, Oeko-Tex, or Fair Trade, are crucial for today’s conscious consumers. These certifications highlight your commitment to social and environmental standards. With Akeneo, you can easily manage and display certification data, enabling consumers to filter products based on what matters to them—whether it’s organic materials, carbon footprint, or fair labor practices.

Enable traceability with Digital Product Passports (DPP)

Consumers are increasingly concerned about where their products come from and how they’re made. By 2026, in Europe, Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will offer a solution that will enable consumers to track a product’s lifecycle from raw material to end-of-life. Akeneo’s partnership with solutions like Ocode and EON makes it easy to generate these passports, ensuring complete traceability and transparency.

Promote circular economy with second-hand and recycled products

The rising demand for second-hand and recycled products is reshaping retail, as eco-conscious consumers seek sustainable options. To meet this need, brands must manage and promote pre-loved items alongside new collections. Akeneo Product Cloud makes it simple to link second-hand products with existing product information.
