PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PLANET
Sustainable innovation is essential to ensuring a resilient business that can continue to be successful over the long term — and it is the right thing to do for the planet.
By prioritizing meaningful sustainability goals that align with our customers’ objectives, we empower our entire organization to identify opportunities where Aptiv can improve efficiency, reduce waste and costs, and streamline operations, from sourcing to disposal.
We set targets for the products we make — as well as the operations where we make them — through a systematic approach that follows evidence-backed standards across every stage of the production process, from sourcing to disposal.
Aptiv is building a culture of sustainable innovation to enable our global team to work together to pioneer sustainable products and solutions.

Executing on a Blueprint for Carbon-Neutral Operations
At the annual Aptiv Innovation Awards, a global decarbonization project led by seven Advanced Safety & User Experience (AS&UX) employees won the first Sustainability Accelerator Award. Among the team’s efforts are initiatives in modernizing and optimizing energy management systems and onsite generation that will reduce operating costs. Equipment is being upgraded to improve energy efficiency, such as replacing a gas humidification system with a system that’s more environmentally friendly.
The results are promising: We have achieved an annual carbon emissions reduction of approximately 521 tons from AS&UX operations — which will result in a 36 percent reduction of Scope 1 carbon emissions in 2025. And we are working to improve that further.
This effort demonstrates Aptiv’s commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, and our dedication to reaching our goal of achieving carbon-neutral operations. The AS&UX decarbonization project is functioning as a blueprint for future transitions.
Progress Toward 100% Renewable Energy
In 2024, Aptiv sourced 43% renewable energy — versus 4% in 2021 — mainly from onsite solar panels and energy supplier green power programs, while keeping costs down and improving efficiency. More renewable energy initiatives are underway, such as a new 85 MW Power Purchase Agreement that will nearly cover Aptiv’s energy consumption in Europe.
The Circular Economy
At Aptiv, we are increasingly focused on product remanufacturing opportunities. Revitalizing used parts creates value, conserves natural resources, minimizes waste and decreases energy consumption. One of our electronics teams advanced the circular economy business model by preparing five new remanufacturing projects across four global customers, supporting the reduction of CO2 by 299 tons and eliminating 14,840 kg of waste.
Adapting to Change
Establishing climate adaptation standards helps us ensure business continuity during extreme weather events, such as storms and heat waves. All manufacturing sites have been ISO 14001 certified. ISO 50001 expansion is underway, with nine of our most energy-intensive sites already certified.
