Empowering Our People
Our mission of transforming mobility begins and ends with
people. It takes a talented and highly skilled workforce
to design and build products that save lives, reduce
society’s impact on the environment and connect vehicles
in ways that improve the quality of life for people around
the world. Through our culture and our shared passion,
we align our employees to this common purpose and
encourage collaboration, innovation and contributions
from diverse voices.

Our people are integral to our progress in building a more
sustainable business. We embrace diversity as an engine
of innovation, and we vigorously promote healthy, safe
workplaces and employee wellbeing. These principles in
action were on display during the pandemic — we shut
down and restarted more than 220 facilities globally in
a matter of weeks, implementing industry-leading
protocols to ensure the safety of our teams and deliver
for our customers.”

donation to the GlobalGiving fund to help some
of the most vulnerable communities around the
world respond to the pandemic. This year, the

As we move toward achieving carbon
neutrality by 2040, we continue to
innovate in vehicle energy efficiency
and in electrification. Our OEM
customers value our proven ability to
find smarter ways to reduce vehicle
weight, with products that deliver
superior performance while using
fewer resources, less energy and
less space. Reducing weight reduces
emissions: The lighter the vehicle,
the less fuel and power it uses, and
that means a smaller carbon footprint
for each vehicle and each fleet.

Lean Gemba
Part of Lean manufacturing is the concept of
gemba, a Japanese word meaning “the place
where it happens” — or, in manufacturing
terms, the shop floor — and the necessity of
management by walking around and seeing
operations firsthand. The pandemic led us to
develop innovative ways to practice gemba
remotely using Microsoft HoloLens technology.
We also converted many of our established
training modules into VR sessions.

Data Security
Shifting more than 20,000 employees to working from home changed
the way employees consume Aptiv data. Suddenly and quickly, our
IT operations and security teams had to work together to overcome
new stresses on the network and data infrastructure. By adopting
a cloud-based solution, Aptiv was able to quickly deliver a scalable
service to our employees to allow them to work remotely while still
connecting in a secure and controlled environment to Aptiv data
and applications, both in the cloud and on our internal network.
