"As carbon becomes a cornerstone of global compliance, integrating PCF into IMDS empowers companies to measure what matters,” says Lecedra Welch‑Jones, Program Manager, CR Environmental Sustainability, AIAG. “The IMDS Conference is where you will learn how to do it right — connecting with experts, decoding regulations, and turning sustainability into strategy.”
Integrating PCF into IMDS marks a pivotal shift toward harmonized sustainability reporting in the automotive industry. It enables companies to meet evolving regulatory demands, such as the EU Battery Regulation and CSRD, while streamlining carbon data exchange across the supply chain. By embedding PCF into IMDS, organizations gain transparency into Scope 1–3 emissions, support lifecycle assessments, and strengthen their ESG strategies.
Attending the IMDS Conference offers professionals a front-row seat to these advancements. Participants gain insights into regulatory updates, hands-on training in PCF reporting, and direct access to OEMs and industry experts. The event fosters collaboration, innovation, and readiness for future sustainability challenges.
