Where the pressure arrives in the supply chain.

What the carmaker demands moves down tier by tier. Click on a tier.

OEM

The carmaker awards platforms and demands CO₂ evidence per component.

How we spot it

  • New platform
  • Supplier requirements
  • Sustainability targets

What suppliers reveal about themselves.

The most important reasons are on the supplier's own website. Kodo reads along and attaches the evidence to every reason.

What does not fit is dropped, with a reason: sales agencies without own production, group subsidiaries with their own department, your existing customers.

How we check every statement.

Kodo puts nothing on the list that we cannot back up. This is the record behind a single line.

  1. FoundThe source with its date. Not a directory, the source itself.
  2. QuotedThe sentence the statement rests on, taken word for word.
  3. CheckedA second step checks whether the quote appears word for word on the page. If it does not, the statement is dropped.
  4. ContactFrom the legal notice, team page or commercial register, with role. We check whether the person still works there.
  5. KeptContacts we cannot confirm again within 24 months are deleted.

What people ask first.

Who is this for?

For providers selling to suppliers: equipment and components, CO₂ accounting software, consulting, testing and measuring technology.

How do you tell tier 1 from tier 2?

From what the supplier publishes itself: references, named OEM customers, press releases, certificates. If it is not stated anywhere, we do not write it down.

How fast do I see whether it works for us?

With the free trial list: tell us your target companies, and within 24 hours you have 10 companies with reason, contact and source.

How does Kodo spot whether a supplier needs CO₂ evidence right now?

From its own pages and jobs: sustainability report, CO₂ targets, new roles in sustainability or quality, requirements from its customers.

Are group subsidiaries included?

Only if they fit your target profile. Subsidiaries with their own department for your topic can be dropped with that reason.

Other industries.

Kodo reads machine parks, certificates and manufacturing processes, not just industry codes.
