The Virtual AIAG Corporate Responsibility Summit is back! This year’s two-day event is scheduled for June 21–22, 2022. The theme is “Supply Chain ESG Evolution: Basics & Beyond.”

Written into the current version of EU RoHS – otherwise known as Directive 2011/65/EU – is an article concerned with legislative review. This is the Directive’s Article 24, the second paragraph of which states that the European Commission is to carry out a general review of the Directive by no later than 22 July 2021 and shall “present a report to the European Parliament and Council accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal.”

AIAG’s first Future Automotive Expert (FAE) event of 2022 is here! Join us on Thursday, January 27, for a midday webinar on Next Gen Employee Development: How AIAG is Helping Accelerate Their Success, presented by AIAG CEO J. Scot Sharland.

AIAG’s Corporate Responsibility team would like to express its gratitude to our volunteers for another fruitful year. We offer a special thank-you to those who gave so freely of their energy, resources, experience, and expertise in 2021.

How can organizations respond to their needs for improved information on sustainability risks, as well as growing external expectations for transparency? And how can more comprehensive reporting help them adapt to responsible business practices?

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.”

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.

The world’s leading authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not delivered a major report in seven years. But the installment released in August 2021 paints a dire picture of our future. 

On September 23, 2021, the U.S. EPA extended the reporting deadline for health and safety data on 20 high-priority chemicals and 30 organohalogens.

EPA issued a prepublication version of a rule that would extend the reporting and submission deadline for the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule under TSCA. The deadline is extended to December 1, 2021, for High Priority Substances (twenty), and to January 25, 2022, for the thirty (30) organohalogen flame retardants.
