Fourteen of the world’s largest automakers have agreed to new standards for their suppliers on sustainability and responsibility issues, including human rights, working conditions, and business ethics. With dual announcements made in Michigan and Brussels, two corporate responsibility business associations, AIAG and CSR Europe, outlined the new agreement. Participating companies include BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Fiat, Ford, GM, Honda, Jaguar/Land Rover, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Scania, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo Cars, and Volvo Group.
AIAG is a not-for-profit organization of OEMs, parts and service suppliers, and government entities focused on reducing supply chain complexity through global standards and harmonized business practices. CSR Europe is a similar business network focused on sustainable growth.
