Summary

Automotive manufacturers are under mounting pressure from customers, investors, and regulators to move beyond high‑level climate commitments and prove measurable, product‑level sustainability performance. Leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers are now quantifying the carbon footprint of individual vehicle components—from batteries and power electronics to interiors and raw materials—to understand emissions across the full product lifecycle. This shift to product‑level carbon transparency is reshaping how organizations identify emissions hotspots, prioritize reduction efforts, and align engineering, procurement, and sustainability teams around shared, data‑driven decisions.

In this webinar, we will explore how automotive leaders are building robust product‑level carbon inventories and turning those insights into competitive advantage. We’ll discuss how carbon data can drive more sustainable design and sourcing choices, strengthen supply chain collaboration, and prepare organizations for rapidly evolving regulatory and reporting requirements worldwide. You will also learn how independent, third‑party validation from DEKRA North America can enhance credibility, reduce greenwashing risk, and support defensible product sustainability claims in an increasingly scrutinized global market.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Understand and interpret product‑level carbon footprints across key vehicle components and systems
  • Identify emissions hotspots deep within complex, multi‑tier automotive supply chains
  • Use carbon data to inform sustainable design, material selection, and procurement decisions
  • Anticipate and prepare for emerging regulatory and reporting expectations affecting automotive products
  • Strengthen credibility and reduce greenwashing risk through independent, third‑party verification
  • Communicate product‑level sustainability performance clearly and confidently to customers and stakeholders
