Carbon reduction in automotive supply chains
Are you ready for the automotive industry's critical shift towards sustainability? Explore the urgency of climate action and business resilience in this whitepaper. Discover the transformative power of three key actions: establish transparency through modern tools, make emissions a business case with internal carbon pricing, and drive change in the supply chain.

About this guide
As global regulations tighten and supply chains come under increasing scrutiny, automotive manufacturers face urgent pressure to address embedded CO₂ emissions. This whitepaper dives into the critical levers for carbon reduction— transparency, carbon pricing, and supplier development—and shows how they can be turned into competitive advantages.
From Scope 3 emissions to the implications of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), the paper offers strategic guidance and a concrete case study on how manufacturers can integrate CO₂ into sourcing decisions with bottom-up product costing.
Your takeaways at a glance
- Why upstream (Scope 3) emissions dominate the automotive carbon footprint—and what to do about it
- How to use carbon pricing to turn sustainability into a business case and prepare for future regulations
- How leading manufacturers evaluate supplier CO₂ emissions and incentivize cleaner production
- What CBAM means for automotive sourcing, and how to mitigate its financial impact with smart data
- How bottom-up costing supports faster, smarter decisions on both price and CO₂
