This two-part paper by IPC will explore how electronics suppliers within the e-mobility transportation sectors can address the exploding sustainability requirements. Part 1 contains background about regulatory drivers that led to creating an automotive-specific database for the entire supply chain to report material content. This reporting system has evolved over time to encompass multiple environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics with a comprehensive, harmonized set of requirements. We’ll detail these current topics’ data structure needs and connectivity to existing electronics material compliance.
In Part 2 of this paper, we cover current and expected future regulatory efforts and automotive industry approaches to managing overall supply chain compliance, such as their focus on Carbon Net Zero metrics as a measure. The focus will shift toward providing actionable recommendations for electronics suppliers aiming to meet the evolving demands of the automotive industry’s environmental compliance requirements. These recommendations will cover best practices in regulatory compliance, supply chain management, and product redesign, as well as strategies for building stronger partnerships with automotive OEMs to ensure smoother transitions toward future regulatory frameworks. The goal is to help electronics suppliers stay ahead of regulatory trends and leverage sustainability initiatives as a competitive advantage.
