One of AIAG’s most popular — and frequently sold out — annual conferences, the day-and-a-half event offers significant time for panel discussions, networking, Q&A, and touring vendor exhibits.
The automotive industry and its supply chain partners face heightened expectations from a range of stakeholders on complex corporate responsibility issues.
At AIAG, we bring our members together and work collaboratively to develop solutions to these challenges, from improving global working conditions and environmental sustainability, to increasing transparency and respect for human rights in the supply chain.
It's the way we started working 30 years ago, when key players in the industry recognized that taking unified action would reduce complexity and costs, and increase efficiency and impact. Today, we use our unique position at the nexus of multiple industries and companies to develop the insights, training, conferences and tools our members need to operate responsibly--and profitably.
Improving our corporate responsibility practices is not only the right thing to do, it's good business--and an investment in the future of our industry.
