A global initiative helping automotive suppliers reduce Scope 2 emissions, improve energy cost resilience, and accelerate renewable energy adoption across North America, Europe, and beyond.
Transform: Auto
What is Transform: Auto?
Transform: Auto, a global initiative launched in 2024 by Trio and Suppliers Partnership for the Environment (SP), is designed to help automotive suppliers identify opportunities to reduce their scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions) from electricity consumption to help mitigate cost and risk.
The voluntary program provides free educational resources that guide suppliers in exploring renewable energy options and offers practical tools to support their independent analysis of opportunities. Participants can choose to pursue their renewable energy goals independently or join a buyers’ cohort facilitated by Trio.
