Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Aptiv provides only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It acknowledges that it engages on the broad topic of vehicle energy-efficiency and emissions rules and that it does so both directly and through trade associations, noting that it "regularly discusses technology solutions for vehicle energy and emissions regulations with policy makers" and that the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers advocates for a "unified national program for fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions regulations." However, it does not name any specific bills, rulemakings, or jurisdictions it has sought to influence, so readers cannot tell which concrete policies are involved. The company describes the mechanism of “discussions” and cites indirect engagement via an industry group, yet it does not identify the government bodies or individual officials that are the targets of these efforts, nor does it outline whether it uses letters, consultations, testimony, or other channels. Finally, Aptiv links its products to lower emissions—“The majority of Aptiv’s products support vehicle emissions reductions, increase fuel economy through lighter component weight which lead to GHG emission reductions”—and expresses support for alignment with the Paris Agreement, but it stops short of stating the specific regulatory changes or quantitative outcomes it is pressing for. Overall, the disclosure signals an intent to influence climate policy but lacks the detail necessary to demonstrate strong transparency. | 1 |
