– Securing Core Infrastructure for Local Business Expansion through European Subsidiary Established Earlier This Year

Glassdome, a carbon emission data management solution provider, announced on November 27th, 2025 that it has signed a strategic partnership with Cofinity-X, operating company of the global data ecosystem for the automotive supply chain ‚Catena-X’.

Through this partnership, Glassdome integrated Cofinity-X’s Dataspace OS into the Glassdome platform, establishing a system for interoperability and secure exchange of carbon data between Automotive OEMs and their suppliers.

Glassdome achieved this partnership milestone based on its European subsidiary, which was established in March of this year. It is expected to become the core foundation for future local business expansion in the EU.

Catena-X is an industrial data ecosystem led by European Automotive OEMs, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. It is setting a global standard for the unified sharing of data across the entire supply chain. Participation in Catena-X is more and more becoming a prerequisite for future OEM partnerships, making it crucial for Korean export companies to prepare.

Cofinity-X, the first operating company and a core support organization for Catena-X, provides the necessary technical infrastructure, enables the onboarding of participants and operates a marketplace for apps and services.  One of those apps is  Dataspace OS (DOS), which enables standardized, secure, and sovereign data exchange among automotive industry participants.

Glassdome has directly integrated Cofinity-X’s DOS, along with the Eclipse Dataspace Components Connector (EDC), into its platform. This integration establishes a system capable of securely transmitting Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data to OEMs and receiving necessary data from partners in a standardized format, all based on ISO 14067 and Catena-X certification standards.

This integrated solution allows clients to manage PCF calculation automation, data exchange enforcing security and sovereignty, and regulatory submission/customer reporting response all within a single workflow. A key feature is the ability to comply with global regulations and supply chain demands without the need for separate IT infrastructure setup.

Thomas Rösch, CEO of Cofinity-X, stated, “The collaboration with Glassdome will expand the use of the Dataspace OS and simplify accessibility for the global OEM and supplier network.”

TJ Yoon, Managing Director of Glassdome’s European Subsidiary, commented, “At a time when EU supply chain regulations are being fully implemented, the Catena-X-based data exchange structure is becoming an essential infrastructure. Through our cooperation with Cofinity-X, we will support manufacturing companies to stably meet global regulatory standards and quickly respond to supply chain requirements.”

• Addressing global battery-supply-chain regulations and automaker sustainability requirements
• Establishing a real-time carbon data management system based on ISO and Catena-X certifications

Glassdome, a leading carbon-emissions data management company, announced that it has signed an agreement with Samsung SDI to develop and implement a comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) management solution covering all of Samsung SDI’s product lines.

The collaboration is a proactive response to tightening EU battery regulations and the growing demand from global automotive OEMs for transparent and verifiable carbon data across their supply chains. The project aims to establish a unified framework for calculating, managing, and reporting carbon data across Samsung SDI’s entire product portfolio.

Under the agreement, Glassdome will integrate and analyze carbon data generated throughout Samsung SDI’s manufacturing process — from cradle to gate — using its SaaS-based digital platform. The system will automatically calculate and report product-level carbon emissions in accordance with the ISO 14067 international standard.

The Glassdome PCF Solution consolidates process-level, real-time data to automatically compute carbon emissions per product. This enables manufacturers to comply swiftly and accurately with EU battery regulations, third-party verification requirements, and customer reporting standards.

The solution has received both Catena-X certification, the European standard for industrial data interoperability, and LRQA verification, an EU-ETS–authorized assurance body, demonstrating its reliability and full alignment with global regulatory frameworks.

Glassdome’s integrated PCF solution, combined with its consulting-based third-party verification service, is already being adopted by leading companies in regulated industries, including KG Mobility, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, LG Electronics Vehicle Components Division, Lotte Infracell, and Choil Aluminium.

“This partnership marks a key turning point for the global battery industry as it faces growing carbon regulations and demands for greater supply-chain transparency,” said Jinki Ham, CEO of Glassdome. “With solutions built on international standards and European data protocols, Glassdome will fully support Samsung SDI in meeting global customer expectations and strengthening its long-term sustainability competitiveness.”

• First Catena-X-based Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) system deployment in the Asian automotive sector
• Proactive response to global carbon regulations such as automotive LCA, battery regulation, and Digital Product Passport
• Plan to expand system coverage to key components like batteries and supplier GHG emissions
• KGM to strengthen its foundation as a carbon regulation leader and ESG-driven company through this collaboration

Glassdome (www.glassdome.com) has signed an agreement with KG Mobility (www.kg-mobility.com, hereafter KGM) to establish a Catena-X-based Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) system in response to EU carbon neutrality regulations.

The signing ceremony, held on June 2 at Glassdome’s Seoul office, was attended by Glassdome Korea CEO Jin-Ki Ham, KGM R&D Planning Head Yong-Heon Lee, and other stakeholders.

Glassdome, a carbon footprint data management company, is the first in Asia to be officially certified as a PCF calculation tool by Catena-X—an industry-governed data ecosystem.

PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) refers to the quantification of carbon emissions throughout a product’s life cycle—from raw material extraction to disposal and recycling. As Catena-X collects and shares primary carbon and product data in line with international standards within the automotive supply chain, obtaining certification from Catena-X is critical for European exports.

This project marks the first initiative in Asia’s automotive sector to build a PCF system connected to Catena-X, making it a meaningful milestone in the field.

Through the collaboration, KGM aims to not only establish PCF systems for models like the Torres Hybrid and Musso EV but also proactively respond to global carbon regulations, including automotive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), battery regulations, and the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

Moving forward, the system will be expanded to include carbon data for key components such as batteries, engines, and chassis, as well as GHG emissions from supplier facilities, to build a carbon management process aligned with global standards.

KGM stated, “As global carbon regulations shift from site-level to source- and product-level management, managing emissions by product life cycle is becoming essential. This partnership with Glassdome will enable us to take a proactive stance on global carbon regulations and establish ourselves as a leading ESG company.”

Glassdome commented, “This collaboration with KGM is a pivotal moment for decarbonization and digital transformation in Asia’s automotive manufacturing industry. By leveraging our globally certified Catena-X-based technology and commercialized data-driven carbon management solutions, we aim to make KGM a model ESG leader for the Asian market.”
