MEMA announced the launch of its Sustainability Council, which it described as a dedicated forum for sustainability executives and professionals to learn, share best practices and collaborate on solutions that will drive sustainability across the vehicle supplier industry. Designed specifically for the automotive supplier industry, the Sustainability Council will meet quarterly to discuss relevant topics such as health and safety standards, implementation and audits, and sustainability initiatives, MEMA said.

Offered through MEMA’s Center for Sustainability, the Sustainability Council offers member-driven programming and builds on the legacy of the MEMA EHS&S Council, which has long supported environmental, health, safety and sustainability professionals in the OE automotive sector. Meeting agendas revolve around peer sharing and subject matter expert presentations from industry, government officials and MEMA’s legislative affairs group.

The MEMA Sustainability Council is open to sustainability leaders and professionals from supplier-member companies at both MEMA OE Suppliers and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. Council members will convene quarterly in metro Detroit for in-person meetings, with a virtual alternative when travel is not an option.
