Closing Supply Chain Visibility Gaps

Improve multi-tier visibility

Automotive supply chains extend across multiple tiers of suppliers and global sourcing regions. Procurement and sustainability teams must identify risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and track emissions across thousands of suppliers.

EcoVadis helps close this gap with scalable sustainability intelligence across your supply base.

Strengthen human rights due diligence

Critical raw materials and global sourcing increase exposure to forced labor and human rights risks. Automotive companies must move beyond traditional audits and gain visibility to detect and address risks earlier in the supply chain.

Stay ahead of rising regulatory pressure

Automotive companies face an expanding wave of supply chain due diligence regulations worldwide. Laws and frameworks, such as modern slavery acts, CSRD, and CS3D, require companies to identify, assess, and mitigate sustainability risks across their supplier base.

Solve the carbon data challenge

Reducing supply chain emissions requires more than industry averages. Automotive companies increasingly need supplier-specific primary emissions data to measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions across vehicles, components, and materials.

Leverage the Power of the EcoVadis Network

Automotive supply chains are deeply interconnected, and many of your suppliers may already be part of the EcoVadis network.

~12,500 automotive suppliers were rated by EcoVadis in 2025 – here’s the global distribution:

Tap into a global network of 150,000+ rated suppliers and a Carbon Data Network of more than 48,000 suppliers reporting emissions data.

When suppliers complete an EcoVadis assessment, their results can be shared with multiple customers on the platform. This allows companies to access reliable sustainability insights while reducing duplicate requests and minimizing supplier fatigue.

AI technology combined with expert analyst review to detect emerging sustainability risks

This enables procurement teams to identify potential risk hotspots and focus engagement efforts where they matter most.

Track Carbon at the Product Level

As automotive companies work to reduce emissions across vehicles and components, understanding carbon at the product level is becoming essential.

EcoVadis now offers a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator, a guided self-service tool that enables suppliers to generate GHG Protocol-aligned product carbon footprints, even when primary data is limited.

Built on the ecoinvent database, the PCF Calculator helps suppliers generate consistent lifecycle emissions estimates across automotive parts and materials.

This enables procurement and sustainability teams to gain more accurate insights into product-level emissions and support supply chain decarbonization initiatives.
