MEMA establishes Center for Sustainability

MEMA says the center’s community will help members build an advantage as they respond to the needs of their customers.

MEMA, the Vehicle Suppliers Association, announced the establishment of the “Center for Sustainability,” an initiative to support its members as they navigate the processes and requirements of a sustainability program.

MEMA says the center’s community will help members comply and build an advantage as they assess and respond to the needs of their customers and other stakeholders. The center will work with MEMA DC to cover a range of commercial and policy-related issues and topics that affect all members. It will be a platform to share best practices and provide members with subject matter experts, research and data, MEMA says.

MEMA says it is already partnering with member companies in the sustainability space to deliver needed content and dialogue for the overall membership. In the months prior to the announcement, sustainability education and discussion sessions for members were held with BlueInc Strategies, Boston Consulting Group, Foresight Management and RSM US. Future sessions are planned and will be announced soon, MEMA says.

These partners and others will help guide companies from corporate strategy to reporting requirements to stakeholder communications through virtual education and discussion sessions, in-person conferences and consultations.
