Automotive Climate Action Questionnaire Framework
In a collaborative process facilitated by the Suppliers Partnership for the Environment (SP), leading vehicle manufacturers and suppliers have developed tools, and resources to support companies in measuring and advancing progress on automotive environmental sustainability ambitions, including decarbonization.
An Automotive Climate Action Questionnaire framework developed through this collaboration was designed to provide a voluntary questionnaire template which seeks to improve data quality and reduce reporting burdens by aligning around common questions and definitions, building on existing industry guidance. The Questionnaire is designed to support continuous improvement in the consistency and quality of supplier reported primary data, while driving efficiencies and reducing the burden of expanded sustainability reporting requests on the supply chain.
As much as possible, each of the core topics covered in this Questionnaire were developed in alignment with the practices of relevant international third party sustainability reporting standards / frameworks, such as CDP, European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), the Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Taskforce on Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and others.
