Powering Performance

The AIAG Supply Chain Products + Services team welcomes Sivad Q. Davis as its new project coordinator. Davis has worked for the past two years as an AIAG customer service representative, which allowed him to build a strong foundation in the broad scope of what AIAG provides the industry — from publications, events, and webinars to training and certifications.

In the wake of rising international condemnation over the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang), the US government is ramping up its forced labor enforcement actions, most recently by issuing a new withhold release order (WRO) on June 23 that will impact the solar industry and by adding five new companies with ties to Xinjiang on the Department of Commerce’s (DOC) Entity List.

The pandemic magnified the need for collaborative partnerships between service providers and customers. We have seen things happening in the market you almost couldn't make up in Hollywood, and those that have remained transparent and collaborative in navigating these challenges have succeeded.

I have a very simple professional philosophy: No one voice should be louder than the other. No one hand should control every action. No one perspective encompasses everyone’s reality. No one body should take up all the space. We all add value, and we all belong.

Organizations can now link the world’s leading sustainability reporting standards with an innovative tool for measuring their progress towards the circular economy.

In March 2021, the OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment) selected for hazard assessment several per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for review and possible listing. The chemicals are under review by two expert committees: the Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) and the DARTIC (Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee).
