Adopting the Automotive Quality Management Systems standard ensures that your organization produces high-quality products and services that meet or exceed the strict expectations of the automotive industry. The standard outlines the quality management system requirements for the design, development, production, assembly, and installation of automotive products and services, with a focus on meeting relevant safety and regulatory standards. Certification under the standard demonstrates to your customers that your organization is dedicated to maintaining a consistent and effective supply chain. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and automotive suppliers are adopting sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint emissions to meet regulatory requirements, respond to customer demands, and address the environmental impact of their operations.

One way that OEMs and suppliers are measuring and reporting their sustainability efforts is through the use of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting frameworks. These frameworks outline the organization's approach to sustainability, including its environmental impact, social responsibility, and economic performance. One example is the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards, which provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for companies to report their sustainability performance.

Another way that OEMs and suppliers are adopting sustainability is using Carbon Performance Data (CPD) scores. CPD scores are calculated based on a company's carbon footprint emissions and sustainability efforts. By tracking and reporting on CPD scores, companies can monitor their progress towards reducing their carbon emissions and improving their sustainability performance.
