As the push towards decarbonization intensifies, automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and related stakeholders are increasingly tasked with transparently measuring, disclosing, and reducing their carbon footprint. Carbon reporting has evolved over the years from being voluntary to a regulatory obligation, driven by stakeholders demanding accountability to reduction strategies.

Carbon emissions reporting helps these entities manage risks, improve operational efficiency, enhance stakeholder trust, and contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change.

There are several entities that request carbon reporting. The ones that affect automotive include:

• Carbon Disclosure Project: https://www.cdp.net/en
• Manufacture2030 (M2030): https://manufacture2030.com/
• International Material Data System (IMDS): https://www.mdsystem.com
• Catena-X: https://catena-x.net/en/
• EcoVadis: https://ecovadis.com/
• Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): https://www.sec.gov/rules/rulemaking-activity
• Supplier Assessment Questionnaire: https://drivesustainability.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DriveSustainability_SAQ_English.pdf
