PREPARING OUR BUSINESS FOR THE FUTURE
To build a strong, resilient business that creates value, we must ensure compliance with and accountability for all legal and regulatory requirements, company policies and operational best practices.
Through ongoing training and communication, we equip our teams with the skills to navigate unknown challenges over the horizon. These resources are made available across multiple channels throughout the year to reinforce our shared responsibility to uphold integrity in everything we do while staying agile in an ever-evolving business landscape.
Continued enhancements to our supplier due diligence and risk mitigation programs ensure lasting partnerships grounded in trust and ongoing collaboration.
Aptiv's Employee Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct anchor our workforce and supplier partners in a shared commitment to ethical behavior. Especially in times of uncertainty, these values guide our decisions and actions, helping us deliver on our mission to make the world safer, greener and more connected.

Strengthening our Supply Chain Resiliency
Aptiv’s supply chain resiliency efforts continue to create value. Building on our digital twin implementation, we have strengthened our ability to maintain a resilient supply chain and develop differentiated, localized solutions.
In light of ongoing geopolitical and climate uncertainties, the digital twin has become even more essential to proactively identifying opportunity and addressing risk. We use the technology to map our supplier network from point of origin to end customer and create part-level risk profiles across the supply chain. It allows us to find multiple sources for validated parts and identify potential issues, helping us to ensure that our customers remain connected with supply across the globe.
To improve supply stability and reduce our environmental impact, where available, we endeavor to source suppliers that are local to the customer, with separate supply chain networks supporting every region in which we do business.
In particular, we look to develop SoC-agnostic solutions. This approach allows the re-use of software and hardware, to reduce the energy drain of compute cycles and increase the functional lifespan of materials. By prioritizing both responsible sourcing and resiliency management, we continue to reduce our environmental impact, while allowing our customers to thrive.
Fostering an Ethical Culture
We are committed to training and fostering dialogue about ethics and compliance principles. Senior executives include Compliance Spotlights in their meetings and town halls, we issue monthly Legal & Compliance newsletters, and we recently launched a Code of Conduct website. We use a data-driven approach with various data sources, including our Aptiv Drive Line ethics helpline and employee engagement surveys, to tailor our training and outreach.
Supplier Development and Transparency
In 2024, we used EcoVadis, a global platform for assessing businesses’ sustainability, to engage with strategic supplier partners representing 80% of addressable spend. The results gave us a better view into our supply chain’s environmental maturity and risk profiles. We also hosted a Supplier Sustainability Forum, where participants across key stakeholder groups gathered to learn, exchange ideas and share best practices for sustainability.
Recognition of Our Values
Aptiv has been designated one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies 13 years in a row by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.
