Metalsa receives FCA US 2016 Sustainability Supplier of the Year Award

Metalsa, a supplier of structural components for light and commercial vehicles based in Monterrey, Mexico, has received the Sustainability Supplier of the Year Award from FCA US LLC. Metalsa is one of 23 recognized automotive suppliers demonstrating dedication to the fields of innovation, quality, diversity, and continuous improvement.

The firm earned the award for its recent sustainability efforts, including adopting the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Sustainability Supplier Self-Assessment (SSSA), a standardized corporate social responsibility gap analysis and process improvement tool, as well as integrating improvements and sustainability best practices more fully into its business culture. Also, Metalsa shared its Supplier Development Program with FCA US; the program is an initiative to support Metalsa suppliers with assessments and training to strengthen the overall supply chain.

The company has built on the SSSA and created several new tools to measure its progress in its internal application and with its suppliers. This encourages the supply chain to adopt sustainable practices with the goal of improving the social, economic, and environmental health of the communities it impacts.
