“ There’ s a lot of challenges and we don’ t have the critical mass in Catena in order to see each and every value stage in our supply chains. But that’ s definitely the vision”

Nadine Philipp, Vice President Sustainability Supplier Network, BMW AG

With Catena-X, to what extent is there visibility across the whole value chain?

NADINE: There’ s a lot of challenges and we don’ t have the critical mass in Catena in order to see each and every value stage in our supply chains. But that’ s definitely the vision. And also I don’ t see another solution – there’ s no alternative to it. Today we use a lot of supply chain mapping tools. But in certain regions you can’ t see certain data. So it has to be something like this collaborative ecosystem to solve that. I don’ t know of any other movements going in that direction. And from a sustainability perspective, we need that for the primary data, the supplier product, carbon footprint, but also for a lot of legislation upcoming.
