Across the world, regulatory frameworks like EU’s CSRD and California’s SB 253 are pushing manufacturers and financial investors to disclosure their carbon footprints.
Upstream materials, goods and services often contribute 15-20% of a traditional automakers and auto suppliers carbon profile. But understanding your carbon footprint and benchmarking against your peers is challenging.
- Quantifying carbon profile is complex, especially for Scope 3, Category 1 (Upstream goods and services).
- Public data resources are hard to access and often times inconsistent.
- Value chain carbon accounting requires a combination of data from different sectors (energy, supplier, materials, etc.).
- Many manufacturers lack in-house expertise in climate modeling and carbon markets
S&P Global Mobility can help. With our Carbon Accounting Upstream Solution – you can quickly and easily access upstream carbon outputs by manufacturer, brand and vehicle. With our proprietary information you can:
- Quantitatively assess the material-based carbon footprint and decarbonization trajectories
- Manage sourcing and/or investment portfolio related to regulatory or reporting requirements
- Identify supply chain carbon hotspots and evaluating decarbonization opportunities
- Inform decarbonization strategies with consistently built global datasets and comprehensively comparable results
