The global standard for automotive sustainability
The SAQ: The global standard for automotive sustainability.
The SAQ, developed by Drive Sustainability, is the global standard for assessing sustainability across automotive supply chains. Trusted by OEMs and suppliers worldwide, it aligns with the Global Automotive Sustainability Guiding Principles to evaluate key areas such as human rights, environmental sustainability, and responsible sourcing. This supports effective management of sustainability challenges and ensures compliance with confidence.

Modularity
SUPPLIERASSURANCE tailors the SAQ to supplier size, sector, and capabilities, ensuring questions are fair, relevant, and actionable. This allows buyers to make sustainable procurement decisions across their whole supply base.

Suppliers receive personalized corrective actions based on their SAQ Rating and can update their response anytime to drive improvement and demonstrate progress to clients.
Real-time insights
Dashboards provide up-to-date metrics, enabling benchmarking, risk identification, and performance tracking at scale.
Real-world success stories.
74% of suppliers evaluated in just three months.
For the first year [before SUPPLIERASSURANCE], it took us eight-to-ten months to get feedback from suppliers about their sustainability practices. We integrated with SUPPLIERASSURANCE at the beginning of the year and we reached a similar level in three months without the burden of chasing and tracking it in an Excel file.
