Digital platforms provide the basis for tool-assisted development and efficient operation of software-based vehicle functions and thus pave the way for various new use cases and business models. The platforms create an ecosystem that must serve as an attractive environment offering added value to both parties – i.e. the provider and the user of services. With PANTARIS, ETAS has developed a solution that is tailored to the specific requirements of the automotive sector. This enables faster development of new functions and easier integration of these functions into the vehicle.

Reshoring to replace offshoring—an era of sustainability? Recent results from our five-month survey with internationally active Tier 1 automotive suppliers have shown that CEOs and Heads of Operations and Sustainability are starting to rethink their global footprint. Every supplier involved in our study has a global production network, has previously offshored manufacturing activities to low-wage countries, and is thus exposed to reshoring and sustainability decisions.

In 2021, as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 19 countries, including the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (U.K.), Chile and Australia, signed the Clydebank Declaration, which aims to support the establishment of at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, intending to scale up over the decade. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced its objective to help set up green shipping corridors and provided high-level guidance on the building blocks for green shipping corridors. Maritime decarbonization is a particularly complex challenge with multiple pathways that are at various levels of technological and operational readiness.

Following the 2015 adoption of the Paris Agreement, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) set targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the shipping industry. The IMO is aiming for a minimum 50% reduction in total annual GHG emissions by 2050, as compared to 2008 levels. Many shipping industry bodies and IMO members, however, are advocating for a net zero target for 2050. This would require much more ambitious interim objectives for 2030 and 2040 to stay on track to meet the Paris Agreement.

Supply chain risk management has never been more important—especially in industries where regulations are everchanging and sustainability is top of mind. The ability to effectively identify, track and mitigate risk is now becoming a huge competitive advantage for the world’s leading brands. A sufficient level of insight was once nearly impossible for companies to achieve using traditional methods of managing supply chain risk, but as you’ll learn from the example of Clariant, organizations can now successfully integrate technology into the process to better map, assess and mitigate global threats.
