Sustainability Council

The MEMA Sustainability Council is 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 meets quarterly to discuss relevant topics such as health and safety standards implementation and audits, and sustainability initiatives.

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.

MEMA’s Center for Sustainability is the leading collaborative network of Original Equipment and Aftermarket suppliers, united by the common goal of creating a more sustainable future. With a mission to serve MEMA members wherever they are on their sustainability journey, our collaborative community helps members comply and build advantage as they assess and respond to the needs of their customers and other stakeholders.
