Leading the way in effective supply chain decarbonization through standardized PCF data sharing

Building a open and collaborative data ecosystem in the automotive industry is a demanding but necessary task. The challenges are manifold, from securing data sovereignty, interoperability and standardization to data protection and compliance. This article highlights the key challenges involved in setting up such an ecosystem and presents possible solutions.

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.

We are excited to introduce the Business Partner Explorer, a powerful new feature that simplifies the way companies share and access business partner data across the Catena-X network.

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.

A dataspace enables secure, decentralized data sharing, helping businesses collaborate, stay compliant and drive innovation.
