Increasing pressure is increasingly prompting carmakers to expand their extensive supply chain management regarding to sustainability-relevant measures and performances, and to make these stakeholders increasingly responsible. As a result, Superior Industries Europe is not unaffected by these developments.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, the calculation of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/corporate-carbon-footprint\/\">Corporate Carbon Footprint<\/a>\u00a0(CCF) and the publication of a sustainability report should meet the rising external expectations. On the other hand, such measures are necessary in order to meet internal requirements and to derive potential for improvement on this basis. The initial goal was to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of the year 2017 at all locations as well as the inclusion of the respective energy consumption, i. e. all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions caused by the company should be covered.<\/p>\n<p>The DFGE supported Superior Industries Europe in calculating its emissions. In the context of Superior Industries Europe, the challenge was due to the broad range of products, in particular in the adequate data collection for production-related greenhouse gases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>The high density of information must first be collected across all goods and bundled for a purposeful calculation. Often several departments are involved in this step, which is the reason why there are high requirements regarding an adequate communication and interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the generated information related to the environmental impact of emissions as well as further measures and indicators of the sustainability performance of Superior Industries Europe should be presented succinctly within a sustainability report. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/un-global-compact\/\">UN Global Compact<\/a>\u00a0(UNGC) membership was a suitable opportunity here in order to publish the companies\u2019 sustainability performance as part of the so-called Communication on Progress (CoP).<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the central challenge was also the adequate bundling and communication of relevant data that can only be captured by including several business units (e. g. human resources, production department, etc.). With approx. 13,000 participants, the UN Global Compact is one of the largest and most influential sustainability initiatives. An annual progress report will provide a transparent presentation of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption aspects and strengthen the UNGC membership as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-12969d1f2f8afc74\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-12969d1f2f8afc74 uvc-4274  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-12969d1f2f8afc74 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;\">Solution<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-12969d1f2f8afc74 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h4>Carbon Footprint and sustainability report create comprehensive transparency of the climate and sustainability management<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The longstanding expertise of the DFGE in the field of life cycle assessment and carbon footprint calculation encouraged Superior Industries Europe to bring in an experienced partner for the CCF calculation, who supports the company in this project. The carbon footprint was done by using DFGE\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DFGE-CF_TopDown-Approach_Jun2016.pdf\">TopDown method<\/a>. In a relatively short time, so-called hot spots (areas that cause high CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions) are identified. In further steps, these sensitive positions are examined recursively and iteratively in depth, so that reliable values with a relatively small error bandwidth can be calculated. The determined company-wide carbon footprint fulfills the requirements of international standards such as ISO 14067, PAS 2050: 2008 or the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Related to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/sustainability-intelligence\/\">Sustainability Intelligence approach<\/a>, the calculated Carbon Footprint could be used as data basis for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/cdp-climate-change\/\">CDP\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0(formerly: Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate Change program as well as for the UNGC report.
