Acting with Urgency means we address issues before they become problems. Speak up anytime you see or suspect a violation of our Code, our policies or the law.

Spotlight Icon SPOTLIGHT ON RAISING CONCERNS

The best place to start is usually with your immediate supervisor – they are often in the best position to understand and address the issue you are facing. What if you are not comfortable speaking with your supervisor, or you have spoken with them and no action has been taken? You may contact:

  • Another supervisor or manager
  • A member of the Human Resources Team
  • A member of the Global Legal and Compliance Team
  • The Aptiv Drive Line - Our Ethics Helpline
    • Easy to use & available 24/7
    • Reports received by impartial third party
    • Anonymous reporting option
    • Reports handled confidentially
    • Reporters protected against retaliation

WHEN YOU CONTACT THE DRIVE LINE:

  • You will be given an opportunity to report anonymously, unless prohibited by law.
  • You may report online or speak to an interview specialist in your own language – translators are available.
  • Information provided through the Drive Line will be documented in detail through the use of a web form (if you report online) or by a third-party interview specialist (if you report via phone) and forwarded to the Global Legal and Compliance Team.
  • The information you provide will be kept confidential to the greatest extent possible.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU MAKE A REPORT?

  • Your report will be assigned a tracking number, and you will be able to check back on its status or provide more information, if you wish.
  • Your report will be reviewed by the Global Legal and Compliance Team, which is responsible for overseeing the assignment of Drive Line reports to the appropriate personnel to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation.
  • If further investigation is warranted, the matter will be handled promptly by trained investigators or subject matter experts, and corrective action will be taken, as appropriate.
  • Regardless of which reporting option you choose, Aptiv will investigate your report thoroughly, disclosing information only to those who need to know in order to resolve the issue.
  • Aptiv takes all reports very seriously.

Retaliation is Not Tolerated at Aptiv.

We prohibit retaliation against anyone who makes a complaint or raises a concern. Reports regarding potential misconduct must be made in good faith.

Reporting “in good faith” means making a genuine attempt to provide honest, complete, and accurate information, even if it later proves to be unsubstantiated or mistaken.
