MANUFACTURING: Automotive
European OEMs must meet a 55% reduction in average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars by 2030, relative to 2021 EU target levels, while Scope 3 accounts for the vast majority of total automotive emissions. Overlapping disclosure requirements under CSRD, SB 253, and SBTi are forcing supplier engagement before many suppliers have the data or processes in place to respond. We combine emissions measurement, supplier engagement, and procurement across Scope 1, 2, and 3 into one decarbonization program.
)
Supply chain decarbonization
We run supplier engagement programs covering readiness assessment, target setting, training, and decarbonization roadmaps to give OEMS a structured and auditable way to address the targets source of their emissions.
)
Measure and report emissions
Our account50 platform covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions measurement with audit-ready, auto-generated reports aligned to GHG Protocol, CSRD, SB 253, CDP, and SBTi disclosure requirements.

How ACT Helped ZF Boost Supplier Renewable Energy Adoption
ZF set a 2025 target for 100% renewable electricity across its supplier base, but North American suppliers lacked the tools and market knowledge to act on it. ACT ran regional education sessions across the US, Canada, and Mexico on Energy Attribute Certificates, and gave ZF's suppliers direct access to a procurement platform built for fast, verified renewable purchasing. Suppliers are now onboarded, procuring EACs to consistent quality criteria, with ZF retaining full transparency over every purchase.
