Practical articles on Catena-X and CSRD requirements, supplier engagement, and cradle-to-gate footprints for stamped and formed metal parts.
Most manufacturers fail their Category 1 Scope 3 reporting not because of methodology problems, but because suppliers don't respond. Here's why, and how structured data requests change the equation.
CSRD doesn't just require Scope 3 disclosure. It requires you to show how much of that data came from primary sources. Here's what Wave 1 OEMs need to do before their first reporting cycle closes.
Spend-based Scope 3 estimates look like a solved problem until you price in what they actually cost: distorted hotspot mapping, mis-allocated reduction targets, and audit exposure you didn't see coming.
Been asked for a cradle-to-gate footprint of the parts you supply?
