DENSO joins Manufacture 2030 to improve supply chain sustainability

DENSO has become the latest Tier 1 automotive supplier to join Manufacture 2030 (M2030) to reduce Scope 3 emissions, which account for 94% of its global greenhouse gas emissions1.

This partnership reinforces DENSO’s commitment to supporting its suppliers by providing them with the tools and expertise needed to measure, manage, and reduce their carbon emissions. This will bring DENSO closer to its goal of reducing carbon output in its global supply chain by 25% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality across its global supply base by 2050.

By joining the M2030 platform and our industry-leading automotive decarbonization program, DENSO joins a collective of eight of North America’s largest automotive manufacturers, driving unified progress and impactful change across this critical sector.

Kim Buhl, Vice President of North America Purchasing at DENSO, said:

Our supply chain partners are key to creating new value for our customers, from quality to service and delivery. This project affords us another opportunity to work together toward positive outcomes, not just for our own businesses or our customers, but for a greener world.

Speaking on the partnership, Denise Carlson, Vice President of DENSO’s North America Production Innovation Center and the executive lead for Sustainability, added:

In everything we do, we always ask, ‘can this be done more sustainably?’ Manufacture 2030’s platform provides us another way to help answer that question and operate more efficiently.

Emily Prior, Chief Customer Officer at Manufacture 2030, commented:

We are excited to continue collaborating with DENSO in its journey to build a sustainable future. By focusing on empowering their suppliers with our industry-leading carbon reduction platform, they are playing a critical role in driving industry-wide action to achieve decarbonization goals.
