The webinar, taking place on Wednesday, 11th June, will share insights on GPSR, EPR, and Digital Product Passports
LONDON, UK [29th May, 2025] – Licensing International, the global trade association for the licensing industry, is partnering with London-based data technology company Fabacus to host a comprehensive webinar addressing the evolving EU regulatory landscape and its significant implications for licensing professionals.
The virtual event, “Brand Trust, Innovation & Transparency: What GPSR, DPP & EPR Mean for Licensing,” will take place on Wednesday, 11th June 2025, from 3:00-4:00 PM BST. The webinar will explore three critical pillars of EU regulation that are reshaping how licensed products are manufactured, managed, and marketed—the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and Digital Product Passports (DPP).
As sustainability, transparency, and safety requirements become increasingly central to product development and life cycle management, understanding these regulatory frameworks is becoming essential for success in the licensing ecosystem. Particularly for those selling within the EU, this is not optional knowledge. This webinar will provide practical guidance on compliance strategies and implementation approaches for industry professionals, as well as the insight needed to future-proof their businesses, and build the infrastructure necessary to meet rapidly evolving EU mandates.
The panel of expert speakers includes:
Aimee Campanella, Development Director, Textiles EPR at Reconomy, brings specialized expertise in guiding clients through global textiles EPR legislation. Campanella is passionate about driving reuse initiatives through Reconomy’s omnichannel network and ensuring legal compliance across international markets.
Cyril Bray, Group General Counsel at Webinterpret, offers decades of experience in tax, customs, and compliance law across diverse industries, including petroleum products, airlines, retail, digital services, and eCommerce.
Jonathan Baker, Chief Commercial Officer at Fabacus, leads business development serving the global licensor and licensee community. Baker previously held senior leadership positions at NBCUniversal, DreamWorks Animation, The Walt Disney Company, and BBC Studios.
“This webinar addresses regulatory changes that will fundamentally impact how our industry operates,” said Steve Manners, VP Global Marketing & UK Managing Director, Licensing International. “Whether you’re an IP owner, manufacturer, compliance officer, sustainability manager, product developer, or retailer, understanding these frameworks is crucial for continued success in the European market and beyond.”
The session is designed for licensing professionals across all sectors within the global brand licensing industry. Attendees will gain actionable insights on compliance strategies and practical implementation guidance, in how products must be tracked, assessed, and reported upon, and the data required.
