Catena-X is set to become a standard in the automotive industry

BASF customers can now use the PACIFIC app to exchange Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data for their products. The application is available in the Catena-X data ecosystem and can be accessed via the Cofinity-X App Store. Register now to take advantage of this innovative solution! PACIFIC is a joint development by BASF, CircularTree, and Cofinity-X, representing significant progress in sustainability. Key milestones include the publication of a PCF rulebook, the introduction of a PCF kit, and the development of a standardized PCF data model.

To meet the need for standardised sustainability practices, WITTE Automotive has implemented advanced solutions with SAP and can calculate its PCF according to the Catena-X framework.

Managing recalls in the automotive industry is often costly and a logistical nightmare. German car manufacturers alone set aside reserves of €1.4 to €1.8 billion per year for such cases. However, thanks to a collaboration between SAP and Catena-X, significant cost savings can be achieved, and the efficiency of recalls can be drastically improved or avoided.

The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has been selected to lead Catena-X efforts in North America, enabling seamless, secure, and standardized data collaboration across the automotive value chain. As a regional hub, AIAG will support OEMs and suppliers of all sizes in adopting Catena-X use cases, from carbon tracking to quality management, while ensuring alignment with local industry needs.

Catena-X, the Government of British Columbia, and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) are testing interoperability with the UN Transparency Protocol. The pilot demonstrates how sovereign, cross-border data exchange can work, linking mining, electronics, and automotive supply chains. A scalable model for global digital trust and regulatory-ready ecosystems.

Glassdome has officially received Catena-X certification for its Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) solution, becoming only the second company in the world to achieve this distinction.

The automotive industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with data management playing a central role. Data sovereignty, or maintaining control over one’s own data, is a key factor in this process. In this context, Cofinity-X is emerging as a key enabler, driving a new era of data sovereignty for automotive companies.
