Join AIAG and our esteemed panelists for a FREE webinar on February 10^th, 2021 at 11:00am EST to discuss the automotive impacts of the USMCA Free Trade Agreement, which was implemented in July 2020.  Since implementation, many questions have been answered; however, some still remain as the automotive manufacturing community gets fully up to speed on compliance protocols and industry best practices.  

If you haven’t checked out our Cyber Initiative page recently, now’s the time!

For the Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee (CRSC), 2020 was a busy year. At the end of 2019, the group decided our mission, vision and objectives needed revision, as they no longer reflected the progressive direction the group wanted to project for the automotive industry. Consequently, the CRSC worked together over the course of multiple face-to-face meetings to establish an updated mission and vision for the future of ESG leadership within the automotive industry.

AIAG’s Corporate Responsibility team would like to express its gratitude to our volunteers for another fruitful year. We offer a very special thank-you to those who gave so freely of their energy, resources, experience, and expertise in 2020, despite the many challenges offered by COVID-19. Our many volunteers and their commitments to the industry are responsible for the team’s achievements over the last 12 months. Everyone worked especially hard to bring in-person events to you virtually — and we plan to do it again next year!

This year’s two-day event on April 14–15, 2020, offers attendees the latest insights and industry information on today's ESG concerns. Join us for the first day (Wednesday, April 14) to hear insights on a wide range of environmental issues, and the second day (Thursday, April 15) for sessions focusing on human rights, sustainability, conflict minerals, and more.
