Automotive Supply Chain Decarbonisation

You can’t cut
what you
can’t trace.

We dissect automotive supply chains link by link — measuring the carbon embedded in every stamped panel, every shipped crate, every paint booth cycle — then engineer the path to verified net-zero.

Transparent Process

Five phases.
No ambiguity.

Each phase transforms fragmented, unreliable data into verified, regulator-ready evidence. Here is exactly what happens — and what you receive.

01
Baseline Audit

Name every tonne before you eliminate any.

What you have
supplier_emissions_2023_FINAL_v3.xlsx
847 rows, 23 missing supplier IDs
BOM_complete_maybe.csv — last updated Q2 2022
No Scope 3 Category 1 reconciliation
email thread: "re: re: re: LCA data request"
14 Tier-2 suppliers non-responsive
What you get
Supply chain mapped100%
Emissions attributed94%
Data gaps flagged100%

Full GHG inventory per ISO 14064-1, CSRD-ready

02
Hotspot Mapping

12% of your suppliers account for 71% of your Scope 3.

What you have

Pareto analysis cross-referenced against SBTi sector pathways

03
Reduction Engineering

Every initiative costed, every timeline honest.

04
Supplier Alignment

Your net-zero is only as solid as your Tier-2's disclosure.

What you have

We had 14 months to CSRD disclosure and no reconciled Scope 3 inventory. Audit delivered a verified baseline in 8 weeks. The gap-to-gap-free transformation was exactly what the board needed to see.

Continental AG — Tier-1 Powertrain Supplier
28% Scope 3 reduction, Year 1

The hotspot analysis identified that two steel suppliers represented 61% of our Category 1 emissions. We had assumed it was our logistics network. That single insight redirected €4M of supplier development budget.
