Helping enable secure, standardized data exchange across the electronics value chain.

The Global Electronics Association brings together companies across the electronics value chain to promote industry growth and strengthen supply chain resilience through sustainability, standardization, and collaboration. With deep expertise and global reach, the Association helps members navigate complexity and scale solutions that matter.

As sustainability and supply chain data requirements continue to accelerate, scalable, standardized data exchange is becoming increasingly critical.

Why the Electronics Supply Chain Matters

The electronics supply chain plays a vital role in unlocking value across key Catena-X use cases, including Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), traceability, quality, and circular economy initiatives.

Catena-X is a collaborative, industry-wide data ecosystem designed to enable secure, standardized data sharing across the automotive value chain. Because electronics suppliers contribute across multiple tiers, they help provide the data foundation needed for greater end-to-end supply chain transparency.

Stronger participation from the electronics industry can help improve data consistency, support interoperability, and strengthen collaboration across the broader mobility ecosystem.

Why Industry Participation Matters

• “Flex is seeing growing Automotive OEM demand for Product Carbon Footprints(PCF) at RFQ stage, but this is hindered by the lack of standardized PCF calculation methodology and reliable supply chain data collection. Through Catena X’s standardized PCF rulebook and secure data sharing framework, Flex Automotive aims to pioneer PCF data chains in the electronics supply chain and this pilot is the stepping stone to unlock broader business value beyond PCF use case.” - Flex
   
• “Having a platform like Catena-X available across the entire electronics industry to derive Scope 3-emissions data from the supply chain would be a true game changer for all of us. This is why AT&S, together with the Global Electronics Association, is acting as a development partner to help accelerate this process.” - AT&S
   
• “The electronics supply chain sits at the heart of automotive value creation — spanning multiple tiers and touching nearly every vehicle component. To achieve truly end-to-end supply chain transparency for use cases like Product Carbon Footprint, traceability, and circular economy, we need the active participation of electronics suppliers. Through our standardized PCF Rulebook, certified interoperable solutions, and sovereign data exchange framework, Catena-X provides the trusted foundation for electronics companies to share reliable emissions and product data at scale. Pioneers like Flex and AT&S demonstrate that cross-industry collaboration is not only possible — it is essential to driving meaningful decarbonization across the entire automotive ecosystem.” - Catena-X
