Apply now!
We are pleased to announce that the application period for the Catena-X Sustainability Committee has been extended until 10 October.
If you are interested in participating and if you are a member of the Catena-X Association, you are highly welcome to apply! After two years of active operation, around 50% of the committee is being restaffed. All currently active members who wish to continue their role are kindly asked to resubmit their application.
What is the purpose of the Sustainability Committee?
The sustainability landscape is challenged by complex regulations, fragmented data, and inconsistent reporting processes, which hinder transparency and collaboration. Catena-X addresses this by providing standards and tools for secure, multi-tier data exchange in the automotive value chain. The Sustainability Committee ensures alignment of sustainability solutions with Catena-X’s overall goals.
What are the goals of the Sustainability Committee?
- Define the vision, roadmap, and standards for sustainability within Catena-X
- Review, validate, and approve sustainability-related deliverables (e.g. standards, guidelines, communications)
- Provide strategic guidance to expert groups in the sustainability domain
- Coordinate and align with external initiatives (e.g. VDA, RBA, ACEA, CLEPA, WWF, GBA)
- Promote transparency through regular community updates, Q&A sessions, and communication across member organizations
Why should you participate?
- Shape sustainability standards that define how data is shared, validated, and applied across the value chain
- Influence industry-wide frameworks and ensure your organization’s needs are represented
- Gain early access to sustainability insights and decisions within Catena-X
- Collaborate with leading experts and organizations to foster innovation and impact
