Powering Performance

The Suppliers Partnership for the Environment (SP) and the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) today announced the publication of a new guidance document, “Measuring Recycled Content of Automotive Products.”

One of the most valued AIAG member benefits is the opportunity to serve on committees and workgroups, collaborating with some of the industry’s most innovative thinkers. AIAG’s Supply Chain team expresses its sincere gratitude to our volunteers for another productive year despite the world’s many challenges.

The Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program was established in 2001 to enhance United States border security through strengthening of international supply chains. CTPAT is a public-private partnership that facilitates the flow of cargo through ports of entry while maintaining the rigorous security standards inherent to CBP field operations.  

This five-day seminar style course – offered by AIAG in conjunction with Wayne State University (WSU) – kicks off on December 1, 2021, at the WSU Mike Ilitch School of Business in Detroit, Michigan.

AIAG and its member companies have worked collaboratively over many years to consistently offer new and eye-opening information to assist you and your company. Moving into 2021, our stated mission was to educate, inform, and advance transparency in the automotive supply chain continues.

As a member, you have much to contribute, and volunteering on an AIAG committee or work group gives your company a seat at the table and an influential voice in the discussion. The support of thousands of members and industry volunteers working together in a cooperative environment makes it possible for AIAG to create the guidelines and tools that result in streamlined processes and solutions to our industry’s pain points and challenges.
