Political Participation and Charitable Contributions

We participate ethically and legally in the political process and in our charitable giving.

Individuals stand together around boxes and bottles, participating in a charitable donation activity.

AT APTIV

  • We, as employees, should be able to be personally involved in the political process, while being aware of the specific and numerous laws that regulate corporate political activities.
  • We, as a company, do not make any direct or indirect contributions or support political candidates or parties anywhere in the world, even where it is legal to do so.
  • We comply with all lobbying laws and regulations, worldwide.
  • Our commitment to philanthropy and corporate citizenship is an important part of who we are as a company.
  • We support education with a focus on science and technology through The Aptiv Foundation, a separate legal entity from Aptiv.

YOU'RE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT

  • In your personal political activities:
    • Be clear that your views and activities do not represent those of Aptiv.
    • Always use your own personal time and personal resources – not Aptiv’s.
  • Do not engage in discussions about legislation, regulatory activity or policy developments with a government official unless you have received pre-approval from the Government Affairs Team.
  • You can request that corporate contributions focused on education be made through The Aptiv Foundation.
  • If you choose to make a difference on a personal level, we encourage you to give your time and talent to causes that are personally meaningful to you.

Ask yourself:

Could my participation give others the impression that I am speaking for Aptiv or that Aptiv is involved?

If the answer is “yes,” stop and seek guidance from the Government Affairs Team before proceeding.
