Powering Performance

As the automotive trade compliance community dives into the second year of USMCA qualification and the corresponding supplier solicitation process, numerous challenges and new questions have arisen around what has changed, what best practices now exist, and what steps are required to qualify goods under USMCA.

In continued support of the industry, AIAG is offering many of our mission critical tools, resources and best practices free through June 2021 to both members and non-members.

If you haven’t checked out our Cyber Initiative page recently, now’s the time! From a two-part webinar on cyber risk and insurance, to links to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s cybersecurity eLearning and resource pages, we’ve compiled a number of free resources to help you bolster your cybersecurity efforts in 2021 and beyond.

The Virtual AIAG Corporate Responsibility Summit is back! This year’s two-day event on April 14–15, 2021, 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.

What do FCA, GM, FORD, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, PACCAR, Caterpillar and the rest of the AIAG Board all have in common?

Join AIAG and our esteemed panelists for a FREE webinar on March 2, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. EST to discuss the automotive impacts of the USMCA Free Trade Agreement, which was implemented in July 2020. Since implementation, many questions have been answered, however, some still remain as the automotive manufacturing community gets fully up to speed on compliance protocols and industry best practices.  

Did you know that the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Agency (CISA) offers free resources like their Telework tips and security considerations to help you and your colleagues establish a safe work from home environment? While these tools are always valuable for organizations throughout the supply chain, they're particularly useful in our current climate of increased cyber risk as many professionals continue to work remotely.

In late spring of this year, automakers in the United States began ramping up production after a nearly two-month shutdown to contain COVID-19. By then, the virus had sickened millions and killed thousands of Americans and forced businesses across the traumatized nation to close.

Have you taken advantage of our Industry Restart Package for Quality yet? If not, now's the time! As we continue to support the global automotive industry through all phases of its recovery, our in-language Core Tools Self-Assessment, select Core Tools eLearning, and all Core Tools eDocuments remain free to the entire industry through the end of 2020.
