The automotive industry’s manufacturing and logistics operations produce large quantities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although the majority of OEMs and suppliers voluntarily report emissions, these emissions are being regulated by a growing number of regions and countries, and are being asked for and reviewed by many non-governmental organizations and financial firms. These assessments are being done to determine the impact that GHG emissions may have on a company’s operations and its public perception.

OEM’s globally request GHG & qualitative information from hundreds of business partners to publically report their carbon footprinting. The benefits of reporting can lead to cost savings & energy efficiencies.

Featuring AIAG Program Manager of Environmental Sustainability, Lecedra Welch, will review what makes up Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the industry, why we have to track and report them, and steps towards reduction.

Greenhouse Gas Work Group

AIAG’s Greenhouse Gas Work Group developed a training session to increase suppliers awareness of reporting GHG emissions. The next phase for the Greenhouse Gas Work Group is to focus on emission reduction. OEM’s will partner with suppliers to share best practices. The lessons learned and processes implemented will set a foundation for other elements of environmental sustainability such as water and waste.
