Multiple models, configurations and supply tiers make automotive carbon management challenging
Deep supply chains make upstream carbon data hard to obtain
A vehicle connects many materials, components and supplier tiers with different management capabilities, definitions and primary data coverage. Ongoing collection, review and traceability require sustained cross-company collaboration.
Complex vehicle configurations require continuously evolving models
Models, model years, powertrains, batteries and component configurations change, and BOM or supplier adjustments affect footprints. Manual model-by-model work cannot easily support scaled calculations and frequent updates.
Complex product and production data are difficult to connect
Product footprints cover upstream materials and components as well as the company's energy, production and manufacturing. Data distributed across systems and departments need a consistent data and accounting foundation.
Carbon management must reach development and supply chain decisions
Automotive carbon management is expanding beyond one-off accounting and disclosure into material selection, vehicle development, green procurement, supplier assessments and collaborative reductions. Carbon data need to inform everyday business decisions.
Build integrated carbon management across the automotive value chain
Supply chain
Build a multi-tier supplier carbon data network
Give product carbon management credible upstream data
Establish ongoing collection, review and updates for priority purchases such as steel, aluminum, plastics, batteries, electronics and key components. Manage supplier PCFs, organizational emissions, reduction targets and supporting evidence consistently.
Use Cyacle to map supply chain partners and business relationships and retain supplier carbon performance data for vehicle footprints, Scope 3, green procurement and supplier improvement.
