Powering Performance

The Virtual AIAG Corporate Responsibility Summit is back! 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. The second day (Thursday, April 15) sessions focus on human rights, sustainability, conflict minerals, and more.

As the world marks Human Rights Day, the widening societal inequalities brought into focus by the pandemic are a stark reminder of the action needed to advance human rights. The role that companies play, in terms of understanding how their behavior contributes towards respect for human rights, is therefore crucial.

March 2: Introduction of Science-Based targets

Save the date: March 2, 2021, from 9:00AM–10:00AM.

AIAG’s Greenhouse Gas Workgroup worked with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to develop webinar to discuss how to start reducing emissions by using science-based targets. Through the science-based targets initiative (SBTI), companies will be able to set targets to help them meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Aggressively addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the environment continues to be an active and ongoing priority for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As part of these efforts, EPA sought public input on new draft guidance that outlines which imported articles are covered by the agency’s July 2020 final rule that prohibits companies from manufacturing, importing, processing, or using certain long-chain PFAS without prior EPA review and approval.

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!

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 2020, our stated mission was to educate, inform, and advance transparency in the automotive supply chain continues. But worldwide, the spread of COVID-19 and its effects required rethinking and replanning not only events and education, but pretty much every facet of our personal and company lives.
