Stories of Success
Aptiv’s people strive for sustainability every day.
Here are some examples.
APTIV TECH DAYS
Held events in Carmel, Indiana; Krakow, Poland; and Shanghai, China, to educate employees on Aptiv’s next-generation technologies and inspire innovations that cross segments and leverage the full breadth of Aptiv’s capabilities. We extended this approach by conducting nine virtual chats throughout the year, on topics ranging from cybersecurity to Lean 2.0, reaching thousands of employees through both live attendance and replays.
EDUCATION & OUTREACH
Donated more than $1 million to schools, vocational training efforts and youth enrichment programs worldwide. Recipients include Girls Who Code, an organization that empowers women to pursue careers in technology by providing online tools, books, programming clubs and in-person workshops; and the GreenLight Fund, which helps transform the lives of youth and families in high-poverty urban areas by creating local infrastructure and meeting critical community needs.
RAISING THE BAR IN SAFETY
Achieved outstanding safety performance, thanks in part to a 98% engagement rate with our “safety look-across” process, which was used 111 times in 2021 to proactively identify safety practices that can be applied to multiple locations. Every week, this systematic process requires each site’s Environmental, Health & Safety director to verify whether any identified safety improvements could be used at their site. For example, a manufacturing site in China improved the safety of one of its machines, and 32 other sites adopted the practice across 200 pieces of equipment.
EMPOWERING ENGAGEMENT
Expanded the Women’s Network in Wuppertal, Germany; Krakow, Poland; and Troy, Michigan, and started up a new chapter in Dublin, Ireland, that includes close to 100 members. The group’s mission is to support, inspire and empower women through an inclusive forum focused on personal and professional development.
