From last week's webinar on Canada's new S-211 Act against forced and child labor in supply chains, to our hybrid event for both members and non-members on the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), we're bringing in subject matter experts to explore key human rights legislation and its impact on industry. 

If you haven't visited the AIAG Event Store lately, now's the time! From the April 17 UFLPA trade policy event at AIAG headquarters (and online for virtual attendees), to our November 7 Customs Town Hall, be sure to check out details for upcoming events below and reserve your spot(s) ASAP.

Prospective Speaker: The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) welcomes your proposal for a session presentation at our annual Quality Summit, October 3-4, 2024. The theme for this year’s summit is “Electrifying the Future: Advancing Mobility.”

A joint offering from AIAG and Wayne State University (WSU), our second annual Tomorrow’s Leaders Today program helps attendees build supply chain leadership skills — and a network of peers — to better support their success at the next level.

AIAG is offering a new webinar on the legal fight against forced labor in supply chains in North America and Europe. Presented by Stephen Pike, a partner at Gowling WLG in Toronto, the webinar — titled “Dynamic Changes Impacting How Businesses Address Forced Labor in Supply Chain Risks” —includes an overview of recent and upcoming legislative, regulatory, enforcement, and stakeholder developments facing the automotive and other industries in the U.S., Canada, and Europe as businesses around the world work to address forced labor concerns in their own operations and supply chains.

Due in part to growing global legislation, regulations, and customer specific requirements, requests for supplier data have reached an all-time high, driving verification, reporting, and compliance activities for ESG, chemical regulatory, and financial viability issues.

This is part of a series in which we recap sessions from the 2023 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference. The previous newsletter covered part one of The Future of IMDS, which can be read here. Here’s part two.

Chemical and sustainability information demands are increasing, and while IMDS is the tool to supply this information, a more dynamic approach and a more refined release process are needed and are in the works.

A new year is a great time to recommit to continued education in your professional career, and what better way than with AIAG’s free webinar recordings? A can’t-miss webinar that you’ll want to put at the top of your list is “A Review of Scopes 1 & 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions” with Michael Lipowicz, GZA GeoEnvironmental’s assistant project manager, climate change and sustainability.
