Building A Sustainable Future
Every
day, our employees around the world are developing innovative, sustainable
products and services to power the software-defined future. A reflection of our
values, sustainability permeates every aspect of our business, from how we
develop our employees and serve our partners to how we support our communities
and preserve our environment. From the sensor to the cloud, our unique
full-system expertise enables us to anticipate the future needs of our
customers and invest in the technologies necessary to make the world a better,
safer place for generations to come.
As
a global leader in the development and delivery of mission-critical intelligent
systems, Aptiv understands that sustainability is a transformational journey
that relies on our ability to support our people, products, platforms and
planet. Our legacy has been built on our passion for innovation, which drives
our teams around the world to continue to push the boundaries of what’s
possible.
It
all starts with our employees — our most valuable asset — and we are committed
to ensuring that they have the resources and training necessary to live our
values while developing sustainable solutions to solve our customers’ toughest
challenges. We continue to invest in our world-class facilities, including our
new technical center in Bengaluru, India, which opened last year, as well as in
the development and retention of our global team. We continue to prioritize
culture-defining experiences, including our annual Aptiv Innovation Awards,
recognizing outstanding contributions from individuals and teams across
functions and geographies. This annual event celebrates the many ways our
people are transforming what we do — provide our customers with flexible, full-system
solutions that enable the life-cycle management of their products — and how we
do it.
To
realize a future with zero accidents and emissions, we are developing solutions
with a safe, green and connected impact in mind. Aptiv active safety technologies
are currently deployed across more than 55 million vehicles worldwide, and last
year we introduced industry-leading solutions – including battery management
software, power electronics and automated parking systems — that improve
vehicle safety and performance. We also expanded our portfolio of
recycled-plastic products to include transmission brackets, wire shields and
floor side rails. Our platforms enable customers to accelerate the path to the
fully electrified, software-defined vehicle. Aptiv’s Smart Vehicle Architecture™
(SVA™) enables OEM partners to reduce weight, mass, labor and,
ultimately, CO2 emissions. And Wind River Studio works with a
cloud-native software architecture and virtualized hardware to help customers
across industries lower embedded software life-cycle costs, shorten time to
market, accelerate innovation and capture new revenue opportunities.
By
doing the right thing, the right way, we continue to reduce our environmental
footprint and are on track to reach our 2025 sustainability goals and carbon
neutrality by 2040. We remain focused on ensuring that our operations are
streamlined and minimize risks to the environment, human rights, and data
security across our supply chain. We continue to build diverse teams that
develop innovative solutions with a positive impact on the environment. We are
proud to be recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical
Companies for the 12th consecutive year — a reflection of the strength of our
Code of Conduct, which serves as the basis for putting our values into action.
This
report outlines our annual progress and the commitments we have made to our
customers, communities and employees in making the world a better place. As we
navigate the complexities of an ever-changing world, we do so with purpose,
integrity and an unyielding dedication to building for a sustainable future.
