Corporate Carbon Footprint

What does the Corporate Carbon Footprint survey represent?

The Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) survey is a common initiative from Continental AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Schaeffler Group, and Vitesco Technologies Group AG, supported by SupplyOn AG. The survey consists of a set of questions relating to your company's carbon emissions The aim of this survey is to gather information such as:

Industry and Revenue Information
2023: Corporate Carbon Footprint Data
Renewable Energy and Energy Mix (scope 1+2)
Climate Roadmap
Energy Use
Sustainability strategy

The survey is sent out once a year and only needs to be submitted once. From there the data can be shared with more than one buyer.

In the past, companies have been expected to measure and understand their direct impacts on the environment. Moving forward, companies are expected to understand all direct and indirect emissions that occur in a company's value chain. As a supplier, your collaboration in this area is vitally important.
