Powering Performance

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. Here’s a look at our accomplishments in 2022.

AIAG’s annual IMDS and Product Chemical Compliance Conference once again provided all the necessary information for automotive OEMs and suppliers alike to successfully navigate the ever-changing and complex world of global chemical regulations that affect the industry.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s recent review of the latest climate science made for an uncomfortable and alarming read.

Developed in response to increased pressure for sustainable manufacturing practices in key areas, our new Water Risk Management document helps industrial facilities with operations that use water identify the "true cost" by tracking its use and associated expenses (e.g., purchasing, treating, heating, disposal).

A recording of AIAG’s September 14^th Future Automotive Expert (FAE) webinar on greenhouse gas emissions has been added to the AIAG Store.

The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILB), which operates under the U.S. Department of Labor, publishes three reports on international child labor and forced labor that serve as valuable resources for research, advocacy, government action, and corporate responsibility.

• Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
• List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor
• List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor

On September 30, 2022, California's governor signed Assembly Bill 1817, enacting a law to restrict PFAS in a range of textile products. The law would prohibit, beginning January 1, 2025, a person from manufacturing, distributing, selling, or offering for sale in the state a new textile article that contains regulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

How much do you know about the chemical regulations impacting your company’s daily business? For example, if you ship to Europe, did you know you not only have to submit to IMDS, but to SCIP as well?

ILAB publishes three reports on international child labor and forced labor that serve as valuable resources for research, advocacy, government action and corporate responsibility. These reports are The Department of Labor's Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor; the List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor; and the List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor. Each of these reports has a distinct mandate, focus and set of implications, but taken collectively, they document the current situation of child labor, forced labor and forced child labor around the world.
