Bridging the Gap: Streamlining the RFP process to build knowledge and progress in the Mobility Sector
A bold new vision for a more sustainable and connected global mobility sector is outlined in the Bridging the Gap report, released by The Coalition for Greener Mobility and sustainability consultancy JustOne. Drawing on nearly 400 real-world sustainability-related RFP questions, the report offers the first in-depth analysis of how ESG is being handled in the industry and where it’s falling short. It highlights the need to move from complexity and inconsistency toward clarity, collaboration, and practical action. With streamlined RFP questions, examples of good practice, and realistic guidance tailored especially to small and mid-sized businesses, the report empowers all players in the supply chain to embed sustainability into core business strategies.
The research signals a 2025 shift away from ESG as a compliance exercise towards sustainability as a driver of value creation, resilience, and long-term success; even amid political or economic uncertainty. It calls for collective transformation, not isolated efforts, and outlines how clients, suppliers, and industry bodies can work together to address shared challenges and streamline expectations. With support from The Coalition and JustOne, the sector now has the tools and momentum to build a more sustainable, future-ready mobility industry.
Download the report to discover key insights:
Suppliers face inconsistent and burdensome RFP requests: Many ESG-related questions overlap, are poorly defined, or fail to reflect supplier size, scope of activity and context.
A growing desire for impact: Many businesses want to do more but need better guidance, clarity, and consistency in the ESG questions they receive.
Corporate demand is growing – but varies widely: Some clients are well-aligned with sustainability goals and provide supplier support; others include ESG questions without follow-up or clarity on how responses are used.
Supplier readiness is mixed: Some suppliers have mature strategies; others are just starting out and struggle with limited time, skills, or resources.
The industry needs standardisation and support: A harmonised approach to sustainability in RFPs will benefit everyone in the supply chain.
