What is the cost of not fully understanding Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reporting?

It can show up as inconsistent data, uncertainty around customer requests, misaligned assumptions and valuable time spent revisiting calculations and documentation.

As PCF reporting becomes increasingly important across the automotive supply chain, AIAG offers two resources to help organizations build a stronger foundation:

► Download the free guide: A Simple Guide to Product Carbon Footprint explains what data to collect, how emissions are calculated and how assumptions should be documented.

► Register for training: Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Made Simple, taking place this month, provides instructor-led guidance on PCF fundamentals, cradle-to-gate calculations and practical methods for working with data your organization already maintains. No prior PCF experience is required.

Whether your organization is just getting started or working to align its current approach, these resources offer practical ways to build clarity, consistency and confidence around PCF reporting.

Explore the guide and upcoming training:

Start with Clarity. Start with Alignment. Start with AIAG.

As automotive manufacturing continues to evolve, so do the technologies being used to support quality.

AIAG is pleased to introduce CQI-38: AI-Based Vision Inspection Systems, new industry guidance developed to provide a standardized approach for assessing and managing AI-based vision inspection systems in automotive manufacturing.

Designed for OEMs, suppliers across all tiers, and vision inspection equipment manufacturers, CQI-38 addresses an important distinction: AI-based vision systems are dynamic and data-driven. Maintaining confidence in their performance requires organizations to consider not only the equipment, but also the AI models, data, operating environment, system capability, and changes that can affect inspection results over time.

CQI-38 takes a lifecycle approach—from system planning and manufacturing implementation through acceptance, capability maintenance, and continual improvement—with an emphasis on risk-based validation and change control.

The goal is a shared industry approach that helps organizations strengthen the capability, accuracy, and reliability of AI-based inspection while supporting customer-specific requirements and broader AI quality management efforts.

New guidance. Shared expertise. Stronger results across the industry.

One of the strengths of today’s 2026 AIAG Forced Labor Due Diligence Conference is the opportunity to bring different perspectives from across the automotive supply chain into the same conversation.

With representatives from Toyota Motor North America, Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company participating in today’s discussions, attendees are gaining additional perspective around the FLDD Program, supplier due diligence, operations integration, and the role of DDRT reporting.

And the conversation doesn’t stop at the “why.”

Today’s DDRT Risk Identification and Mitigation Tool tutorial gives participants an opportunity to take a closer look at the tool itself and gain a better understanding of how it can be used to support risk identification and mitigation activities.

It’s a valuable combination: industry perspective, shared learning, and practical application—all in one room.

The 2026 AIAG Forced Labor Due Diligence Conference is underway.

Today, automotive professionals from across the supply chain are coming together for the 2026 AIAG Forced Labor Due Diligence Conference—bringing their questions, experiences, and perspectives to a conversation that continues to grow in importance across the industry.

As forced labor due diligence expectations continue to evolve globally, organizations are at different points in their journey. Some are building their approach, while others are strengthening existing processes—but across the room, there’s a shared focus on understanding what’s changing and how to respond effectively.

Throughout the day, attendees are exploring global trade and regulatory developments, supply chain risk, OEM collaboration and expectations, risk assessment and mitigation, supply chain mapping, and a hands on tuturial AIAG Due Diligence Reporting Template (DDRT).

And that’s the value of bringing the industry together: an opportunity to ask questions, compare experiences, hear different perspectives, and leave with a clearer understanding of what evolving expectations may mean for your organization and the shared supply chain.

The conversations are underway, and we’re looking forward to a full day of learning, collaboration, and engagement.

Supply-chain due diligence may be led by Corporate Responsibility.

But it cannot be carried by CR alone.

Tomorrow, professionals across the automotive industry will come together at AIAG headquarters and virtually for the AIAG 2026 Forced Labor Due Diligence Conference.

The conversation will examine how stronger collaboration across sourcing, procurement, compliance and leadership can improve visibility deeper into the supply chain.

There is still an opportunity to join virtually—right from your desk—with access to the live conference and recordings available on demand.

A supplier list can show who your organization buys from. It may not show what is happening several tiers below.

Hear perspectives from OEMs, legal experts and industry peers working through this complex issue, and gain a clearer understanding of where responsibilities intersect and visibility gaps may remain.

Join us tomorrow, September 1, from 8:00 a.m.–3:45 p.m. ET.

Strengthen Supply Chain Visibility. Avoid Compliance Blind Spots.

AIAG | ANOTHER DAY IN THE INDUSTRY

Most teams have that one person who knows the process inside and out.

They know which sounds the machine shouldn’t make, which measurements are worth a second look and why the work instruction doesn’t always match what happens on the floor.

Let’s call him Marcus.

Marcus has been on the team for 14 years. His experience quietly keeps everything moving.

Then Monday morning comes, and Marcus is on vacation.

A question comes up, so someone checks the work instruction.

“Wait…this isn’t how Marcus does it.”

Someone else looks over.

“Yeah, he showed me a different way.”

And then someone asks the obvious question:

“Did anybody write that down?”

No one did.

The process didn’t change when Marcus left for vacation. The team simply discovered how much of it depended on what he knew—and whether he was available to explain it.

That kind of experience is invaluable. But it becomes even more valuable when it’s documented, shared and built into the way the work is done.

Standardized work isn’t about replacing someone’s expertise. It’s how an organization makes sure that expertise strengthens the entire team.

So enjoy your PTO, Marcus.

We’ve got it from here.

What helped your organization turn individual knowledge into something the entire team could use?
