With a broad product portfolio ranging from driveline and chassis technologies to active and passive safety systems, ZF plays a central role in the automotive industry. Sustainability is a key pillar of the company\u2019s strategy, and reducing environmental impacts across the value chain is a clear priority.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve these goals, ZF is a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/catena-x.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catena-X<\/a>, a collaborative network aimed at improving data transparency and interoperability throughout the supply chain. In this context, reliable emissions data and a standardized approach to Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation are essential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the Catena-X initiative, ZF commissioned DFGE to conduct PCF calculation training for all suppliers. This training represents a crucial step toward obtaining emissions data from a global and highly diverse production material supplier base. The provision of <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/product-carbon-footprint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PCF<\/a> data is required for every offer submitted to ZF. To ensure broad availability, the training materials were published on the ZF Supplier Board and on ZF\u2019s sustainability website for the supply chain. ZF chose DFGE for this task due to its extensive expertise in environmental management and sustainability, combined with a strong focus on practical, hands-on solutions.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.icon-with-text-shortcode.icon-text-id-751f193bdef5bcf303a751667506da6e .text-icon {\n  width:

Implementing a standardized PCF calculation across a large and heterogeneous supplier base, however, presented significant challenges. Many suppliers initially had limited or no knowledge of PCF requirements, methodologies, or calculation principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, calculating a Product Carbon Footprint is a complex process that requires a solid understanding of emission sources, system boundaries, and data availability. The collection of accurate and reliable emissions data is essential but often difficult, as data quality and availability vary widely across the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, suppliers were required to integrate PCF calculations into their existing business processes and quotation systems, adding an additional layer of complexity. All calculations also needed to comply with Catena-X-specific standards, as defined in the Product Carbon Footprint Rulebook.<\/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-775169e8f98c53f69\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-775169e8f98c53f69 uvc-6646  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-775169e8f98c53f69 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-775169e8f98c53f69 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practical Enablement through targeted Training Solutions<\/h3>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e8f98c53fc7\" data-id=\"69e8f98c53fc7\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address these challenges, DFGE developed a pragmatic and tailored training program specifically designed to meet the needs of ZF\u2019s suppliers. The training translated complex methodological requirements into clear, structured guidance and made PCF calculation understandable through practical examples and step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maximize accessibility and reach, the training materials were provided in digital format. Via the ZF Supplier Board, suppliers were able to download all relevant documents and access the content at any time.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/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 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training included detailed guidelines and illustrative case studies on PCF calculation, enabling suppliers to apply the methodology directly to their own products.
