LKQ Corp

North America\n\nAs a part of the LKQ North America team, our Government Affairs team advocates on issues and policies that protect consumer's rights, small businesses, and the environment, in both the United States and Canada. The LKQ North American government affairs team works on advancing legislation that upholds the right to repair in the United States and Canada. This would protect the more than 4.5 million jobs in the aftermarket industry, safeguard consumer choice, and prioritize the industry's environmental impact. Our government affairs team's strong relationships with elected officials allows us to engage in meaningful discussions towards finding a solution to combat manufacturers' attempts to monopolize the aftermarket industry. Our team recognizes the need to protect the rights of minority and lower income communities, of whom this practice falls on most heavily. LKQ advocates against these injustices by working shoulder to shoulder with Congressional offices across the United States and Canada on how to elevate and enhance legislation concerning the right to repair industry.\n\nTo effectively advance meaningful legislation, we understand that it is critical to listen to all voices at the table. LKQ is an active member of several associations including the following:\n\n- MEMA — Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association\n\n- AASA — Aftermarket Automotive Supplier Association\n\n- SEMA — Specialty Equipment Market Association\n\n- AutoCare — repair facilities and parts distribution association\n\n- CAR Coalition — Consumer Access to Repair\n\n- RV Industry Association\n\n- NMMA — National Marine Manufacturers Association\n\n- multiple state associations representing vehicle recycling facilities\n\nInvolvement in these associations allows us to learn and share best practices with our peers. This encourages collaboration on how to develop and shape common sense policies that protect the environment, consumers, and the aftermarket industry, while promoting sustainable business practices.\n\nLobbying activities and expenditures for lobbying are filed in states in which LKQ engages with those governments, and it registers on the federal level in accordance with federal guidelines. LKQ also has a political action committee (PAC). The participation and reporting of actions taken by those involved in the PAC follow all federal and state guidelines where applicable.\n\nEurope\n\nPublic affairs associations and national industry associations represent the interests of LKQ. Participation in the European association, FIGIEFA, represents our interests with EU decision-makers. It is vital for LKQ to be embedded in the local tissue of the aftermarket industry through these national associations and be represented throughout Europe.\n\nThrough the strategic partnership and cooperation with Zukunftswerkstatt 4.0, LKQ Europe is helping customers prepare for future challenges in the automotive industry.\n\nLKQ Europe is also a member of the eFuel Alliance. As a member, we work with a strong and influential community whose interests are towards achieving a successful energy transition across Europe.
