Interested Tier-1 suppliers and supplier associations can apply for membership.
Drive+ is the new platform launched by CSR Europe to foster dialogue between tier-1 suppliers and supplier associations with Drive Sustainability – the partnership of 11 global automotive manufactures that strives to enhance sustainability throughout the automotive industry.
Drive+ stems from the need of Drive Sustainability partners to engage in closer collaboration with their stakeholders after the adoption of a new long-term strategy that moved beyond supply chain due diligence to include ambitions such as carbon neutrality, circular use of resources, and workforce wellbeing. In this respect, Drive+ will offer suppliers and supplier associations a space to:
Engage with Drive Sustainability original equipment manufacturer (OEMs) partners. Suppliers will take part in consultations on key sustainability topics and will receive structured updates on the decisions taken by the Drive Sustainability group.
Learn and share best practices with OEMs and peers.
They will navigate together how to effectively implement impact-oriented activities; respond to sustainability challenges; and operate within the regulatory environment through a series of open thematic webinars and workshops.
Access the Drive Sustainability Toolbox.
The tools will be available for suppliers at the same conditions as for the OEM partners. Furthermore, suppliers will be able to participate in masterclasses dedicated to the nuts and bolts of sustainable supply chain management.
Tier-1 suppliers and supplier associations interested in participating to Drive+ are invited to contact us to receive more information about the conditions of participation and to apply for membership.
