A Message from Our President and CEO
At Adient, we are committed to a long-term, sustainable 
transformation that not only limits the impact our 
business has on the planet, but also focuses on social 
and economic change to create a better environment 
for everyone. Stating this commitment is admirable, but 
putting those words into action is what’s important if 
we wish to enact real change.
In fiscal year 2022, Adient did just that, undertaking 
many initiatives that continued to further our ESG 
journey. This included the publication of three important 
documents: Adient’s Deforestation Policy, Human Rights 
Policy Statement and DE&I Commitment Statement. 
The Deforestation Policy reiterates our commitment to 
procuring forest commodities from more sustainable 
sources to reduce our potential impact on deforestation 
and climate change. Our Human Rights Policy provides 
an overview of our priorities and commitments in the 
area of human rights, and our DE&I Commitment 
Statement recognizes the importance of diversity in 
enhancing our culture and business performance.
In addition, we have taken concrete steps to enact 
change though alliances such as our agreement with H2 
Green Steel to supply fossil-free steel with a low carbon 
footprint from 2026 on for use in Adient’s world-class 
metals products.
On the product front, our engineers and designers 
continue to focus on developing more sustainable 
products, such as Adient’s UltraThin™ seat, recently 
recognized with a Future of Lightweighting award at 
the 2022 Altair Enlighten Awards. This sustainable 
seat technology does not exist anywhere else in the 
automotive industry. 
We have established three regional DE&I Councils as 
well as nearly two dozen employee-run business resource 
groups (BRGs) globally that further our grassroots efforts 
in diversity, equity and inclusion. These BRGs focus on 
professional development, community outreach and 
education to create an inclusive culture. In addition, 
we leverage our high-potential employee development 
program, Adient Accelerate, to tackle key business 
challenges through action-learning projects. In fiscal 
year 2022, three of these projects were aligned to ESG 
topics — Renewable Energy, New Start Electrical Vehicle 
Business Strategy and Employee Development (Social 
Sustainability).
All these efforts are significant steps in our continuing 
ESG journey. They demonstrate that Adient has firmly 
integrated sustainability into the core of our business to 
become the foremost sustainable automotive seating 
supplier. We have dedicated talent, technology and 
sustainable processes globally to enrich our sustainability 
program. We have implemented robust policies and 
procedures to enhance our ESG governance structure 
and responsibilities. Additionally, we have improved our 
ability to gather quality data to track our progress in a 
systematic and reliable manner. 
Adient continues to receive support from our Board of 
Directors, leadership team and managers to drive our 
success at all levels of the organization and within our 
supply base. 
I join the entire global Adient team in sharing this year’s 
accomplishments and goals in our 2022 Sustainability 
Report as we continue to do our part to lessen our 
environmental impact on the world and create a more 
sustainable future.

Overview
We are committed to operating our business in an environmentally responsible manner, 
including the way we source materials and services, manufacture products, consume 
energy and natural resources, and monitor waste and air pollutants.
We are supporting the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
We recognize climate change is real and acknowledge it 
threatens air and water quality, harms biodiversity, and, 
if left unchecked, has the potential to drastically affect 
human life on Earth. We understand the way we run our 
business can help avert the disastrous effects of rapidly 
accelerating climate change. 
Using 2019 as our base 
year, we set ambitious 
greenhouse gas reduction 
targets through the Science 
Based Targets initiative 
(SBTi) to limit global 
warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In 2021, we presented 
our roadmap to SBTi, and in October 2022, SBTi 
validated our scope 1, 2 and 31 reduction targets:
35% Scope 3 emissions 
reduction by 2030
SCOPE 3
75% Scope 1 and 2 emissions 
reduction at our manufacturing 
plants by 2030
SCOPE 1
SCOPE 2
We’ve reduced our global scope 1 and 2 absolute 
CO2e2 emissions 25% — and our scope 3 absolute 
emissions3 by 12% —  as of Sept. 30, 2022.4
In 2022, we continued to monitor our environmental 
risks and impacts using our internal data-management 
platform. Data from our manufacturing plants, offices 
and technical centers is collected, validated and 
uploaded into the platform every month. The tool allows 
us to calculate our Scope 1 and 2 carbon and hazardous 
air pollutant emissions, and our energy managers use 
the platform to view trends, monitor our impact, and 
make decisions with sustainability in mind. This report 
also marks the first year we have obtained independent 
verification of our sustainability data and disclosures.
In fiscal year 2023, we plan to:	
>
Perform supply chain mapping on key controlled
forest commodities	
>
Assess key first-tier forest commodity suppliers for
sustainable product certifications	
>
Internally release a company water management
procedure with requirements for high-risk plants	
>
Execute our renewable electricity action plan	
>
Implement our supplier due diligence process, which
will include carbon-related data collection and
provide insight into the maturity of our supply chain
1	 Scope 1 emissions are our own direct greenhouse gas emissions; scope 2 refers to our indirect greenhouse 
gas emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling; and scope 3 emissions 
are our value chain emissions.

2022 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT 
PROJECT SAVINGS
In fiscal year 2022, we completed 1,174 continuous 
improvement projects at our locations globally — 
up from 728 projects in fiscal year 2021 — and 
calculated the annual savings these projects 
generate. 
Combined, this year’s completed continuous 
improvement projects annually conserve:
6,092 metric tons 
of CO2e
16 million liters 
of water
25 million kWh-equivalent  
of fuel
5,363 metric tons 
of waste 
42 million kWh 
of electricity
2 	Carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO2e, means the number of metric tons of CO2 emissions with the same 
global warming potential as one metric ton of another greenhouse gas. (Source: U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency)
3 	Adient’s scope 3 emissions data disclosure is calculated using the GHG Protocol Technical Guidance 
for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions (version 1.0) , which is an industry standard, using Accenture’s 
methodology and relying on/using actual consumption and spend data to calculate scope 3 emissions.

	 Adient’s 4 Pillars of 
Sustainability
To advance environmental sustainability at Adient, we 
have created four cross-functional teams to shape our 
processes and mindset.
Sustainable Manufacturing: We are working to 
increase efficiency in our production processes 
at all our manufacturing locations.
Sustainable Product Design: We use innovative 
materials and design processes to decrease the 
environmental impact of our products.
Sustainable Supply Chain: We work with 
our suppliers to increase transparency into 
their environmental practices and enhance 
sustainability across the value chain.
Employee Engagement: We engage our 
employees to help us reach our company’s 
sustainability goals.
	Supporting Our Customers
As our customers work to make their operations and 
products more efficient and environmentally friendly, we 
support them by offering products and services in line 
with their sustainability goals. Specifically, it is our policy 
to:
	>
Implement global tools that help our facilities 
track, monitor and improve their environmental 
performance.
	>
Minimize material usage, energy consumption 
and waste generation in the manufacturing of our 
products for the good of the environment and to 
minimize overall production costs.
	>
Research and identify materials and manufacturing 
methods that minimize environmental impact.
	>
Offer advanced seating solutions that have a 
higher percentage of recycled content, weigh less, 
integrate technology, and help minimize the lifetime 
environmental footprint of our customers’ vehicles.
	Carbon Disclosure Project
Adient is once again a proud supporter of the Carbon 
Disclosure Project. In 2022, we earned the following 
scores in our CDP assessment:
	>
Climate Change: 	B
	>
Forests5: 	
C
	>
Water Security: 	 B
“Disclosure is the first key step 
in addressing current and future 
environmental risks. Adient has 
demonstrated its commitment to 
transparency around its environmental 
impacts and strategies for action 
by disclosing its environmental 
data through CDP in 2022,” said 
Dexter Galvin, CDP Global Director, 
Corporations and Supply Chains. “Disclosure not only 
provides the foundation for environmental action, but 
brings tangible business benefits for shareholders, 
customers and employees alike.”

Sustainable Operations
The Adient Manufacturing System (AMS) supports 
our policy objectives and ensures we have consistency 
in our efforts across the globe. Through our regional 
manufacturing leaders, we engage employees to drive 
world-class manufacturing and operational excellence to 
grow our business. Additionally:	
>
We established regional environmental targets for
energy conservation, waste minimization and CO2e
reductions and reduced energy intensity annually
through continuous improvement activities focused
on energy savings. For example, in the APAC region,
we set a goal to reduce energy consumption intensity
by 5% in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year
2022.	
>
We collect data from all our continuous improvement
initiatives around the globe using our internal CI Trac
software, and we mandate that our locations track
their sustainability metrics.	
>
We have dedicated continuous improvement
managers in each plant who are responsible for
achieving annual continuous improvement targets.
We highlight the most successful and unique
projects on our internal employee portal to recognize
sustainability wins and spark ideas — and for
the projects with the highest impact, such as the
Sunderland Sustainability Hub (right), our teams
collaborate across all three regions to share best 
practices and implement projects at other Adient 
locations around the world.	
>
Adient’s facilities work within the legal compliance
parameters set forth by each country, and facilities
are audited both internally and externally as evidence
of compliance. Potential non-compliances are
corrected and reviewed regularly.	
>
If any country agency finds a facility potentially
in non-compliance, the finding is reviewed by top
regional leadership and corrective actions are quickly
imposed.
It is also a company priority to ensure each location 
has an environmental management system. All our 
wholly owned operational facilities are ISO 14001 
(Environmental Management Systems standard)-
certified within 18 months from the start of production. 
Currently, 100% of our manufacturing facilities are 
internally audited and compliant with ISO 14001; 98% 
are third-party audited and certified to the standard, and 
the remaining 2% plan to be certified in 2023. 
With respect to ISO 50001 (Energy Management 
standard), currently, 58% of our locations are either 
internally audited and compliant or are third-party 
audited and certified. We are developing an action plan 
to achieve 100% certification at our facilities.

SUNDERLAND SUSTAINABILITY HUB
At our plant in Sunderland, U.K., employees 
banded together to create a local sustainability 
team to manage and drive ESG projects across 
the site. However, the team quickly realized they 
were lacking a dedicated area to post information 
about sustainability initiatives. During a team 
meeting, the group developed the idea of creating 
a sustainability hub — a one-stop shop where 
plant employees can see what’s happening, 
offer suggestions, and get involved. As part of 
the sustainability hub project, the team received 
26 sustainability suggestions, implemented two 
projects, and is in the process of completing two 
more projects. The team also plans to plant trees 
and wildflowers on the grounds and has even 
begun planning the installation of an onsite 
beehive.

Climate Change
We are working to curb our greenhouse gas emissions and have developed emissions-
reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative to limit global warming 
to 1.5 degrees Celsius. SBTi validated these targets in October 2022. 
Climate Action and Natural Resources: Improve energy 
efficiency in our operations, reduce the carbon footprint 
of our finished products, and develop processes that 
protect our planet’s natural resources. 
Sustainable Materials and Circular Economy: Identify 
materials and manufacturing methods that minimize our 
environmental impact and promote a circular approach 
to product development. 
	Our Approach
To meet our scope 1 and 2 emissions-reduction targets 
and help mitigate the dangerous effects of climate 
change, we’re focused on improving energy efficiency in 
our operations, transitioning to renewable energy, and 
reducing the carbon footprint of our finished products. 
We track and monitor environmental key performance 
indicators (KPIs) at all our locations as we work to reach 
these targets.
To decrease our scope 3 emissions, we began performing 
supply chain mapping and monitoring our suppliers’ 
environmental status and overall ESG actions in 2022. 
In fiscal year 2023, we plan to implement a new supplier 
due diligence tool, which will help us assess our suppliers’ 
sustainability activities.
	Disclosing our Performance
To maintain transparency and accountability, we 
report our environmental performance to the CDP each 
year — this detailed submission provides part of the 
framework for our company sustainability report. In 
our CDP disclosure, we provide information about our 
data and strategy for addressing climate change, water 
security and forests, and in 2022, we provided our most 
comprehensive set of reports to CDP to date.

SCOPE 3
Supply Chain Emissions
We recognize the relevance and importance of our wider supply chain’s environmental 
risks and impacts and are working with our suppliers to achieve our SBTi scope 3 (value 
chain) emissions-reduction target of 35% by 2030.6 
Climate Action and Natural Resources: Improve energy 
efficiency in our operations, reduce the carbon footprint 
of our finished products, and develop processes that 
protect our planet’s natural resources. 
Sustainable Materials and Circular Economy: Identify 
materials and manufacturing methods that minimize our 
environmental impact and promote a circular approach to 
product development. 
6 	 Using 2019 as a base year
We expect our suppliers to conduct their operations in an 
environmentally responsible manner and require them 
to commit to our global supplier standards. We also 
encourage them to adopt business values and practices 
aligned with the UN Global Compact’s principles for 
environmental responsibility.
	Roadmap to 2030
In 2022, we worked with the CDP team to determine 
that 33% of our top suppliers responded to the CDP’s 
climate change questionnaire, 15% responded to the 
water security questionnaire, and 8% responded to the 
forests questionnaire. We will continue working with CDP 
in 2023 to evaluate our supply chain’s sustainability. 
We are also working with a third-party sustainability 
consultant to develop a supplier due diligence tool that 
calculates supplier sustainability maturity. The tool 
integrates an ESG assessment into our existing supplier 
scoring tool and helps us assess sustainability risks (e.g., 
environment, business ethics, human rights, health and 
safety, etc.) within our supply chain. We look forward to 
implementing our supplier due diligence tool in fiscal 
year 2023, which will allow us to drive impactful change 
within our supply chain. Using this tool — which, in part, 
calculates greenhouse gas emissions by commodity — 
we are working in fiscal year 2023 to fine-tune our road 
map for reaching our SBTi scope 3 emissions-reduction 
target. 
We have decreased our scope 3 (value 
chain) absolute emissions by 12% and 
are on our way to reaching our goal of 
reducing our scope 3 emissions 35% 
by 2030.6
Also in fiscal year 2022, we began a supply-base 
deforestation mapping initiative to better understand 
our value chain’s potential impact on deforestation. 
To help us achieve our scope 3 emissions-reduction 
target, we plan to:
	>
Conduct supply chain mapping of Adient-controlled 
leather products (100%), timber-based packaging 
(75%) and soy and palm oil products (100%) by 2025
	>
Work with 75% of our global timber-based packaging 
supply chain to understand the status of sustainable 
certifications on supplied products in 2023 
	>
Work with 100% of our soy and palm oil suppliers to 
understand the status of their sustainable product 
certifications in 2023  
	>
Increase recycled content and deforestation-free 
alternatives within our products and packaging 
	>
Complete supply chain mapping of 75 Tier 1 suppliers 
of packaging, leather, soy and palm oil in fiscal year 
2023

RETHINKING PACKAGING
We sometimes receive parts, store inventory, and 
ship our products in cardboard boxes. Through our 
plant recycling programs and other continuous 
improvement initiatives, we’re working to ensure 
cardboard that can’t be reused is baled, stored 
and recycled. This helps us reduce our scope 3 
emissions, protect our natural resources, and limit 
the amount of waste we send to the landfill.

SOURCING GREENER STEEL
The metal in our seat structures and components is often the most carbon-intensive material in our products, 
which means it presents one of the most significant opportunities for improvement. That’s why we are actively 
working to decarbonize our metal structures using green steel.  
When we signed a cooperation agreement with H2 Green Steel in 2022, we committed to shifting parts of our 
steel volume sourced for production to fossil-free steel starting in 2026. H2 Green Steel produces steel with a 
carbon footprint up to 95% smaller than conventional steel by using hydrogen and green electricity sources — 
rather than coal or other fossil fuels — to produce steel.
“As a company, we are committed to the Science 
Based Targets initiative, a collaboration between 
leading global institutions to set a science-based 
climate target. We also support the Carbon 
Disclosure Project, which helps companies 
and cities to understand and disclose their 
environmental impacts. The decision [to sign a 
cooperation agreement with H2 Green Steel] to 
shift parts of the steel volume sourced for our 
production to a steel with low carbon footprint is 
part of our sustainability strategy. It is our goal to 
reduce emissions at our production sites that are 
caused directly by our own sources or indirectly 
by our energy suppliers by 75% by 2030. In 
parallel, we aim to reduce emissions along our 
supply chains by 35% over the same period. In 
doing so, Adient actively fosters the industry’s 
transformation toward a more responsible use of 
natural resources.”

Decarbonizing and Reducing Energy 
Consumption
Energy consumption is a considerable contributor to our scope 2 carbon emissions, and 
we are committed to reducing our energy consumption and transitioning to renewable 
electricity sources in order to minimize our carbon footprint and mitigate our impact 
on climate change.
Climate Action and Natural Resources: Improve energy 
efficiency in our operations, reduce the carbon footprint 
of our finished products, and develop processes that 
protect our planet’s natural resources. 
In fiscal year 2022, our locations completed more than 
450 electricity- and fuel-saving projects globally through 
our continuous improvement initiatives. In our plants, we 
have made numerous energy-saving improvements such 
as investing in ceiling fans to better distribute air and cut 
heating costs and emissions, purchasing more efficient 
variable-speed compressors to replace old single-speed 
versions, performing energy treasure hunts, and investing 
in ultrasonic air leak detectors to find and repair air leaks 
on the production line. 
To ensure we have robust processes in place, all our 
global manufacturing locations have established 
facility-specific energy management programs and 
metrics. Currently, 58% are either internally audited and 
compliant or are third-party audited and certified to the 
ISO 50001 Energy Management standard. 
Additionally, we aim to acquire an increasing percentage 
of our electricity from renewable resources such as wind 
and solar, either by attributing our electricity usage 
to renewable sources through local utility companies 
or by generating renewable electricity on-site. It is our 
continued belief that the price of energy should reflect 
the environmental costs of its consumption, which 
would make green energy sources more affordable and 
allow market economics to lead the shift to cleaner 
alternatives and new technologies.
	 Transitioning 
to Renewable Electricity
In our 2021 Sustainability Report, we shared our goal 
to be 100% reliant on renewable electricity by 2025. 
While making significant progress toward achieving that 
goal in 2022, certain macro-economic factors outside 
of Adient’s control have changed. At the same time, 
we have gained a more material understanding of the 
renewable electricity resources available in each regional 
market.  Given the complexity within certain markets, we 
determined that our previous goal needs to be reviewed 
and are currently re-evaluating it. We are developing a 
revised renewable electricity goal and strategy that we 
will execute to achieve our recently validated SBTi scope 
1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions-reduction targets.
As of Oct. 1, 2022, 36 of our 200+ locations attribute 
100% of their electricity consumption to renewable 
sources, representing 14% of our total electricity 
consumed. As we execute our renewable electricity action 
plan in fiscal year 2023, we will continue investigating 
and transitioning to fossil-free electricity (e.g., wind, solar, 
geothermal, hydroelectric, etc.) to further decarbonize 
our operations.
In fiscal year 2022, we completed:

	 Hunting for Conservation 
Opportunities
Throughout the year, our plants around the world 
conduct sustainability hunts, or “go and see” exercises 
where the plant’s cross-functional teams comb through 
the building and grounds looking for opportunities to 
conserve energy, reduce waste, save water and more. 
Each sustainability hunt generates a list of action items, 
which the team then prioritizes and executes. 
As just one example, our health and safety team 
conducted a sustainability hunt in June 2022 at our 
Bridgewater Interiors joint venture in Lansing, Michigan, 
that generated more than 80 actionable items to 
improve sustainability in a single morning. Opportunities 
the team identified included:
	>
Repairing leaky faucets in several restrooms to save 
water
	>
Installing motion sensors to save electricity in 
bathrooms, locker areas and other infrequently used 
areas where lights are often left on 
	>
Repairing air leaks on the production line to save 
energy
	>
Adding more recycling receptacles on the production 
line to encourage recycling and reduce waste
	>
Programming or installing timers on TVs and other 
screens in break areas to shut them off between 
scheduled breaks
Globally, we conducted 135 sustainability hunts in 
fiscal year 2022, conserving a total of 8.4 million kWh 
of electricity, keeping 10,044 metric tons of CO2e from 
entering the atmosphere, preventing 5,504 metric tons 
of waste from entering the landfill, and conserving more 
than 16 million liters of water.
Our teams across our locations globally also conduct 
awareness initiatives such as “Turn It Off” campaigns to 
remind employees to switch off unused equipment and 
devices, and we continue to raise awareness through 
various internal campaigns, including an ongoing 
campaign in EMEA to conserve energy and fuel as the 
cost of these resources continues to rise as a result of the 
Russia-Ukraine War. 
As part of a sustainability hunt, an 
Adient employee uses an ultrasonic 
air leak detector to locate air 
leaks along the plant’s pneumatic 
production line. Repairing these 
leaks helps us reduce our energy 
consumption.

Air Quality
Air pollution poses a significant threat to human health and is accelerating climate 
change. As a company, we seek to reduce the amount of air pollutants we generate in 
our operations.
Climate Action and Natural Resources: Improve energy 
efficiency in our operations, reduce the carbon footprint 
of our finished products, and develop processes that 
protect our planet’s natural resources. 
As the standards governing the release of air pollutants 
become increasingly stringent, we proactively work to 
curb our VOC (volatile organic compound), nitrogen 
oxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter 
emissions in our operations. We continue to explore 
and implement manufacturing methods to lower our 
emissions and reduce waste.
Due to the calendar-year reporting cycle for air 
contaminants at Adient’s locations, data for calendar 
year 2022 was not available at the time of this report. 
In fiscal year 2022, we updated our reported emissions, 
based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 
AP-42 and eGRID standards, with an emission factor 
improvement and with the addition of estimated 
process-related emissions from our operations in China.

CUTTING VOC EMISSIONS
At our North American foam plants, reducing our 
solvent-based mold-release usage by 5.2% in fiscal 
year 2022 (compared to fiscal year 2021) reduced 
our material usage by 69 tons and lowered our VOC 
generation by 66 tons.
Switching out four of our double-cavity 
molds for triple-cavity molds at our 
foam plant in Hinjewadi, India, 
reduced the plant’s electrical 
consumption by 41,000 kWh 
and prevented 30 tons of 
CO2e from entering

Vehicle electrification is transforming the automotive 
industry and creating significant demand for lightweight, 
sustainable, comfortable, high-quality seating solutions. 
Through our Evolution of Seating Systems Sustainability 
(ES3) approach to product design, we identify materials 
and manufacturing methods that minimize our 
environmental 
impact through a 
more circular 
approach to product 
design, development 
and production — all 
while offering the 
same level of safety, 
functionality, 
comfort and proven 
quality our 
customers require.   
We collaborate with our customers to fully understand 
and align with their sustainability strategies and goals, 
and we closely monitor environmental legislation and 
regulations at the regional and global levels that may 
impact our products. Our proactive approach means we 
are already phasing out materials that do not align with 
upcoming or proposed regulations. 
By identifying materials and manufacturing methods 
that minimize our environmental impact, and through 
integrating the four R’s (recycling, remanufacturing, 
repairing and reusing) of designing for a circular 
economy, we drive automotive seating sustainability 
from cradle to grave.
	Complete Seat
Our holistic approach to product development seamlessly 
integrates sustainability by reducing design complexity 
and limiting operational waste while utilizing sustainable 
materials and processes. ES3 draws on input from quality 
surveys, market research, VA/VE (value analysis/value 
engineering) workshops, innovation portfolios, warranty 
analyses, benchmarking, and safety and insurance 
ratings to engineer or re-imagine products that reduce 
cost while maintaining or increasing value. 
In fiscal year 2022, Adient:
	>
Established a workstream to investigate how to 
design complete seats for end-of-life disassembly and 
recycling 
	>
Simplified seat design using design elements such as 
our Soft Back Panel and Soft Side Valance, which are 
made from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 
fibers and can be combined with a wide variety of 
materials, including recycled PET cover material
	>
Created a cross-functional workgroup to map our 
supply chain and understand our products’ potential 
impacts on deforestation (see our 
Deforestation Policy for more 
information)
	>
Began conducting life cycle 
assessments (LCAs) using our 
proprietary Product Carbon 
Footprint Tool, beginning in the 
product development phase
We continue to collaborate 
and innovate to bring 
market-leading 
sustainable complete 
seat solutions to our 
customers.

	 Calculating Our 
Product Carbon Footprint
With our proprietary Product Carbon Footprint Tool, 
we are able to monitor the environmental impact of 
our existing and new products — including our award-
winning UltraThin™ seat (right) — as we are developing 
them. The tool is built following guidance from the World 
Resources Institute (WRI) and calculates the cradle-
to-gate greenhouse gas emissions associated with the 
product — from the extraction of natural resources to its 
delivery to the customer. CO2e removals and offsets are 
not included.
WATCH: Adient’s UltraThin™ seat receives 2022 
Altair Enlighten award for lightweighting
“UltraThin™ is the culmination of 
thousands of hours of research and development 
and encompasses a great many innovations. 
UltraThin™ is a major paradigm shift from 
traditional foam and trim seat construction 
to cushion and back comfort panels made of 
recyclable thermoplastic elastomers. It potentially 
redefines driver-to-metal criteria in seat design 
with thinner seat sections and improved comfort 
and safety through engineered deflection and 
concave contours.”

most innovative products and was a winner in the 
Future of Lightweighting category at the 2022 Altair 
Enlighten Awards. UltraThin™’s unique thermoplastic 
elastomer (TPE) panel seat construction offers 
improved comfort and support, saves space in the 
vehicle, reduces the number of parts in the seat, and 
decreases the seat’s overall weight. This unique 
technology does not exist anywhere else in the auto 
industry.
Our UltraThin™ seats can be used in all vehicle 
segments and all seating rows, and we’re partnering 
with our customers to co-develop this technology 
across their existing seat structures. The range of 
adaptations include front and rear rows for multiple 
segments and a wide variety of content levels, 
allowing its use from base models to fully contented 
luxury seating.
The supportive UltraThin™ panel conforms to the 
occupant’s posture, size and weight to comfortably 
accommodate different occupants. The thinner seat 
back will save roughly 40 mm of knee room for second 
row occupants. The thin supportive cushion can 
reduce block height up to 45 mm, freeing up 
room under the floor for battery packs. The 
technology will save 44 mm of space per row, 
reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. Benefits of 
the UltraThin™ seat include:
	>
Significantly thinner cushion and back, which 
creates room for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and 
other opportunities in smaller vehicles 
	>
Reduced overall mass through the 
use of lightweight components
	>
Simplified assembly and 
reduced part count compared to 
traditional seat construction
	>
Premium comfort 
in a thin package
	>
Improved carbon 
footprint, which we 
are able to calculate 
using our proprietary

	Metals
The process of extracting and processing metals can 
be extremely carbon-intensive. By integrating recycled 
content, designing innovative solutions that reduce the 
amount of metal required, or a combination of both, 
we reduce our product carbon footprint and help our 
customers meet their electrification and sustainability 
goals.
As a leader in lightweighting, we engage in topology-
optimizing activities and take a hybrid-materials 
approach to reduce the amount of metal in our seat 
structures and components without compromising 
strength or safety. Our composite backrest, for example, 
combines high-strength steel and fiberglass-reinforced 
thermoplastic material to create a backrest structure that 
is sleek, strong and comfortable — and roughly 50% 
lighter than a typical metal backrest. 
We also closely track our customers’ sustainability 
targets for metals — including their requirements for 
recycled content, CO2e emission intensities, green steel 
and more — to ensure our efforts align with their needs 
and goals.
	Plastics
Recycling plastics helps keep waste out of landfills and 
saves energy and precious natural resources by not 
having to extract and refine raw materials. Many of the 
plastic components in Adient’s seats are already made 
with recycled materials — we are currently achieving 
ratios of up to 55% recycled content in visible seat 
components and as much as 70% recycled content 
in non-visible parts — and we are researching new 
materials and processes to increase recycled content. 
From our recycled Soft Back Panel and Soft Side 
Valance components to our sustainable trim covers, our 
focus is on integrating recycled and recyclable plastic 
content into our products. In addition, we are exploring 
materials made from recycled ocean plastics, bio plastics, 
composites with natural fibers and more.
	Foam
For more than two decades, we have pioneered the 
creation of low-emission foam by using renewable 
resources and natural oil polyols, and we have globally 
reduced odor-generating impurities in our foam 
processes by 90% (read more about how we’re reducing 
VOC emissions). A few of the ways we are improving the 
sustainability of our foam products include:
	>
Integrating waste from end-of-life vehicles into foam 
products
	>
Incorporating polyols containing carbon dioxide 
captured from the atmosphere 
	>
Recycling components for use in our foam products
	>
Using soy and palm oil products as plant-based 
substitutes for polyols in certain foam products
Products like our lightweight Shell Foam™ help our 
customers create more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly 
vehicles as they work to meet their vehicle electrification 
and sustainability goals. Shell Foam™ is up to 50% 
thinner than traditional foam and is more rigid, which 
allows for smaller, lighter seats without compromising 
comfort, quality, or appearance.

We engage with our suppliers to increase circularity 
in our polyurethane (PUR) foam products by recycling 
content and/or integrating bio content, and we 
are researching PUR alternatives. As we note in our 
Deforestation Policy, we are working, and will continue 
to work, with our soy and palm oil suppliers to ensure the 
products we purchase are sustainable.
	Trim
The process of producing leather uses large amounts of 
water, generates significant greenhouse gas emissions, 
and contributes to deforestation. While our customers 
directly control the sourcing of the vast majority of 
our seat cover materials, we are proud to offer a wide 
selection of alternative sustainable trim and backing 
materials that are durable, comfortable and stylish. Our 
Sculpted Soft Trim Cover, pictured at right, leverages our 
70% recycled PET Soft Back Panel technology as a base 
layer upon which we can apply different trim materials, 
including recycled fabrics.
We actively investigate and test a variety of sustainable 
leather and textile alternatives, including plant-
based leather and recycled composite leather. While 
we originally identified 20 leather alternatives that 
could be used in automotive seating, we have since 
narrowed it down to roughly half a dozen materials 
that potentially meet our stringent requirements for 
appearance, workability, comfort and cost. We work 
closely with our customers to test these materials in real-
world applications, including developing sample seats 
using some of the most promising sustainable leather 
alternatives.
As we note in our Deforestation Policy, for the leather 
sourcing we control, we are working to map our supply 
chain by 2025 to understand how our suppliers are 
working to decarbonize materials.

Traditional seat back panels are often hard, 
space-consuming and, if large enough, heavy. 
Adient’s innovative Soft Back Panel is a unique 
solution made from 70% recycled PET and 
designed to replace injection-molded plastic back 
panels. It improves knee clearance, enhances 
comfort, optimizes cost, creates greater design 
flexibility through its compatibility with a wide 
variety of surface materials (including many 
sustainable materials), and improves packaging 
— all while reducing the weight of each seat by as 
much as 2 kg. We have also extended this 
sustainable technology to our Soft Side Valances, 
which helps further reduce overall seat weight by as 
much as 1 kg per seat. 
It is innovations 
like our Soft Back 
Panel and Soft 
Side Valance 
that will help 
us — and our 
customers — 
achieve our 
carbon-reduction 
targets.

Deforestation and Natural Resources
Our natural resources are precious and increasingly scarce due to growing global demand 
and the worsening effects of climate change. We understand we have a responsibility to 
ensure we are using these resources sustainably.

	Water Security
We believe access to clean water is a fundamental 
human right and also recognize it is vital to our own 
operations. In 2021, we conducted a water security 
risk assessment to identify our locations that exist in 
regions of high water stress, and in 2022, we released 
our company Water Management Policy. With this as 
our guide, we endeavor to conduct our operations in a 
way that minimizes water withdrawals and wastewater 
produced to the greatest extent possible and safely 
discharges wastewater according to applicable local legal 
requirements. 
Our Water Management Policy requires, among other 
things, that our locations monitor water-management 
KPIs, and it subjects high-consumption locations and 
locations in areas of high water stress to more stringent 
requirements for water conservation. Adient’s Operations 
leaders monitor these KPIs via a centralized system with 
input from team members at our locations globally. 
We work to conserve water in our own operations, and 
we invest in initiatives that preserve and protect our 
freshwater supply globally. Over the last two years, 
Adient has donated to the Clean Ganga Fund to help 
rejuvenate the National Ganga River in India, and in 
fiscal year 2022, our facilities globally conserved a total 
of more than 16 million liters of water through various 
continuous improvement projects.
	Our Deforestation Strategy
We recognize forests play a vital role in preserving 
biodiversity, providing habitats for wildlife, mitigating 
climate change, and supporting human life. Loss of 
our forests and rainforests through human-driven 
deforestation harms the health of our global ecosystem. 
As part of our commitment to understanding our 
potential impact on deforestation, we joined forces 
with the World Wildlife Fund, Global Canopy, Leather 
Working Group and Roundtables for Responsible Soy and 
Palm Oil as a trusted team of on-the-ground resources 
while also collaborating with other stakeholders to find 
potential solutions and alternatives. For the past three 
years, we have provided data to the CDP regarding 
our management of timber, soy, palm oil and leather 
products. 
In 2022, we conducted our first deforestation risk 
assessment, which included mapping the first tier of our 
supply chain. Based on what we learned, we identified 
four key commodities: 
	>
Timber: We receive timber-based packaging from our 
suppliers and ship some of our products to customers 
with similar products.
	>
Leather: We cut and sew leather into automotive 
seat covers, armrests and head restraints at our 
trim plants. However, as our customers direct the 
overwhelming majority of the leather used in our 
products, we do not have a significant influence in 
sourcing this commodity.
	>
Soy and palm oil: We use these products to 
substitute a percentage of traditional oil-based 
polyols in some of our foam products.

We will continue to map our supply chain beyond the 
first tier in fiscal year 2023 to increase transparency 
into how these key forest commodity products are 
sourced, and we will investigate the status of sustainable 
certifications in our supply base. We will also implement 
our new supplier due diligence tool, which helps assess 
our suppliers’ sustainability activities, and we plan to 
calculate carbon emissions related to our deforestation 
impact using a newly released set of guidance from SBTi 
for FLAG (forest, land, agriculture) emissions. These are 
all key steps in enhancing our sustainable procurement 
practices.

	Better Data, Better Visibility
Our new energy- and water-management platform 
improves visibility into the quantity and quality of 
our water withdrawals, water consumption and water 
discharges through more granular data tracking. In 
previous years, this data was estimated, but today, we 
track 90% of water withdrawals and 75% of water 
discharges with plans to continuously improve upon 
these values in fiscal year 2023. We also distribute an 
annual water management survey to all our locations 
globally to keep our teams in each region updated on 
water security issues and statistics.

Adient employees and community members in 
Indonesia planted roughly 1,000 mangrove trees on 
the Blanakan shore in the fall of 2022. Participants 
from Purwakarta also learned about the benefits of 
reforestation and how the trees will help protect the 
shoreline from erosion while rebuilding habitats for 
local wildlife.
At our Liverpool, U.K., plant, team members noticed 
water usage remained high even during extended 
shutdowns. After ruling out an underground leak, the 
team discovered the urinal auto-flush was cycling too 
frequently (at 9 liters per flush). Project leads reduced 
flush frequency to every 15 minutes and reduced the 
fill level to its minimum volume. In just four months, 
the project conserved 4.7 million liters of water — 
enough to nearly fill two Olympic swimming pools.
In Mexico, the team at our Juarez III plant installed 
a system to collect and hold the water that has 
been rejected from our filtration and softening 
systems, which is then used in toilet flushing 
and sanitation, saving up to 600 liters of water 
per year. At our Aguascalientes plant, the team 
identified and repaired water leaks found during a 
sustainability hunt, conserving 500 liters of water 
per year. And at our Rosario plant, team members 
removed old faucets and installed new motion-
activated faucets, conserving 500 liters of water per 
year.

Waste Reduction and Handling
Keeping waste out of the landfill helps decrease our carbon footprint and limit our 
negative impact on the environment. We are working to reduce, reuse, recycle and 
renew materials whenever possible across all our operations.

Sustainable Materials and Circular Economy: Identify 
materials and manufacturing methods that minimize our 
environmental impact and promote a circular approach to 
product development. 
Our goal is to operate as efficiently as possible while 
generating the least amount of waste we can. In 2022, 
we implemented our company Waste Policy to govern 
how we measure, track and ultimately decrease the 
amount of waste we send to landfills. Under this policy, 
Adient locations monitor waste KPIs, which helps us 
track waste-minimization efforts, reduce the amount 
of waste sent to landfills, and increase waste recycling 
content. The policy also includes a requirement for plants 
to implement waste-saving projects and share best 
practices and initiatives. 
Additionally, through our ES3 approach to product 
design, our product development teams around the world 
are finding new and innovative ways to incorporate 
recycled and sustainable content into our seat systems 
to promote a circular economy while simultaneously 
reducing design complexity and limiting operational 
waste.

SENDING LESS WASTE TO LANDFILL
Globally, we logged more than 260 waste-reduction 
projects in fiscal year 2022 that kept a total of 5,363 
metric tons of waste from entering the landfill. 
Our global complete seat and metals plants are 
working to reduce packaging waste by replacing 
cardboard with returnable packaging. At our plant in 
Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S., the team reduced the 
amount of waste sent to the landfill by 240 metric 
tons in fiscal year 2022. Similar projects are underway 
or recently completed at some of our other facilities 
in North America, Thailand, the U.K., Poland and 
Hungary.
The production team at our Banpho, Thailand, plant 
reduced leather defects by improving control of the 
heat guns used to smooth leather on the production 
line. The team implemented guards and stopper 
controls to improve control distance and timing, 
reducing the likelihood of burning the leather. As a 
result, the plant conserves roughly 893 m2 of leather 
trim per year. And at our trim and foam plants around 
the world, we have implemented programs where 
our material waste is reused in other industries — or 
processed and converted to energy — rather than 
being sent to the landfill.

Chemicals Management
Some chemicals used in the automotive industry may impact health and the 
environment. Handling these chemicals properly is vital to keeping workers 
and the environment safe.
Health and Safety at Work: Protect the mental and 
physical health, safety and overall well-being of our 
employees, customers, suppliers and any other 
individuals using our premises. 
Human Rights: Uphold human rights, eliminate harassment 
and discrimination in all its forms, and ensure our suppliers 
abide by these same values.
The IMDS (International Material Data System) is the 
global standard material data system for the automotive 
industry. It provides information on the presence of 
legally declarable, restricted or prohibited substances in 
our products. Our IMDS team in Trenčín, Slovakia, uses 
the IMDS to ensure we’re meeting our legal obligations 
for managing hazardous chemicals and other materials. 
	 Hazardous Chemicals
We internally screen our serial and spare parts production 
regularly for the presence of hazardous chemicals — 
as listed in the publicly available Global Automotive 
Declarable Substance List (GADSL) — as one of our 
core processes to manage hazardous substances in our 
products. Our suppliers are also required to submit IMDS 
data sheets for their products in order to ensure they 
are complying with international and national chemical 
legislation. 
We perform periodic internal and external audits of 
our chemicals management system following the ISO 
14001 standard. Our internal processes define clear 
responsibilities for chemicals management, including the 
responsibilities for top management. The IMDS is also 
part of our internal Engineering Approval Process, which 
includes defined deliverables at specific steps during the 
product development process.
With our internal processes, we are compliant with 
the GADSL and EU REACH regulations to improve the 
protection of human health and the environment from 
the risks that can be posed by chemicals.
	 Eye on Regulations
We monitor legislation related to chemicals (REACH and 
REACH-like legislation, U.S. TSCA, California Proposition 
65 and similar) to identify and manage our chemical 
landscape. We work to phase out hazardous substances 
six months before the official phaseout date. 
If parts are found to contain certain substances, our 
team reports it to the EU SCIP (Substances of Concern 
in Products) database. This became a legal obligation in 
January 2021.
Adient is also a member of the European Association 
of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), the foremost lobbyist 
group for automotive suppliers in Europe. In this role we 
are supporting CLEPA’s efforts to provide industry input 
to the chemicals strategy of the EU, mainly regarding 
the use and substitution of hazardous substances in 
automotive products.

	 Our People-first Approach
We are a global leader in automotive seating because of 
our people — a team of 70,000+ unique individuals who 
make it all possible. 
Our senior leaders — including and especially our 
President and CEO — are committed to advancing 
DE&I and career development opportunities through 
inclusive leadership and talent-management processes. 
Our Chief Legal and Human Resources Officer, who 
reports to our President and CEO, oversees our global 
talent processes to attract, develop and retain Adient’s 
most valuable asset: our employees. Our Chief Legal and 
Human Resources Officer regularly updates our Board 
of Directors on our progress by providing key people 
metrics.
While our global talent-management practices apply to 
all regions in which we operate, we recognize different 
locations have different needs, and we empower each 
region to implement their own programs to drive 
performance and employee-development activities in 
line with our business needs and the local labor market. 
This localized approach helps us attract and retain 
engaged employees who work collaboratively to achieve 
the company’s goals. 
We also attract and retain engaged employees through 
positive employee-relations activities that focus on our 
people and their families. Employees also have numerous 
opportunities to communicate directly with leadership to 
ask questions, make suggestions, or provide input. These 
lines of communication include global and regional 
town hall meetings, informal Let’s Talk Sessions with our 
President and CEO and other senior leaders, open-door 
policies, high-performance work teams, local and global 
recognition programs, and Adient’s Integrity Helpline.

Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of 
Minerals from Conflict-Affected Areas and High Risk 
Areas, and we are a member of the Responsible Minerals 
Initiative (RMI). Our cross-functional conflict minerals 
steering committee meets quarterly to review and 
evaluate our policies and procedures. 
Visit our Supplier Portal 
for more information
We require our first-tier suppliers to conduct conflict-free 
sourcing from RMI-certified smelters per the guidelines 
in our Global Supplier Standards Manual. As part of 
our supplier due diligence processes, which conform to 
the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance, we communicate 
regularly with our suppliers to understand their supply 
chain and, if necessary, clarify their answers on the 
Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (Adient uses the 
RMI’s CMRT template). Based on their CMRT responses, 
we identify suppliers who potentially use or source 
conflict minerals, assign them a risk level, and work 
with them to ensure they comply with our guidelines. 
We provide our suppliers with online conflict minerals 
training and support.
Every year, we disclose any potential use of conflict 
minerals in the products we manufacture or contract 
to manufacture in compliance with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission’s disclosure rules.

We also support the U.S. and EU critical raw materials 
initiatives to sustain resilient, diverse and secure supply 
chains by providing usage data to determine the CRMs 
that are important for the automotive industry. For 
example, in the EU, Adient is actively engaged in the 
CLEPA CRM subgroup of the Materials and Substances 
Working Group to identify upcoming CRM topics and 
support the phase-out and substitution of CRMs in 
automotive products.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We’re committed to fostering a culture of inclusion that celebrates diversity and 
empowers our people. Because when we bring our authentic selves to work every day — 
with all our unique characteristics, experiences and perspectives — we all win.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Promote a culture of 
inclusion that celebrates the diversity of our employees, 
suppliers and customers, and empowers them to always 
act with integrity. 
	 Our Culture
We recognize DE&I is essential to the success of our 
business and that living these values encourages 
different perspectives, ignites innovation and creativity, 
increases employee engagement, and strengthens 
partnerships with our customers, suppliers and 
stakeholders. We promote a diverse and inclusive 
culture by:
	>
Hiring and developing the best and brightest talent 
to ensure diverse representation at all levels of the 
organization, including senior management
	>
Creating an environment where employees can be 
their authentic and best selves
	>
Building an inclusive supply chain that fosters 
innovation and economic development through 
greater supplier choice
	>
Investing in the communities in which we operate

Commitment Statement to learn more about 
Adient’s DE&I commitments and actions 
DE&I Vision: To be a 
premier employer that 
champions an inclusive 
and equitable work culture 
enriched by our diversity, 
where all employees are 
valued and respected.
DE&I Mission: Adient is committed to driving an 
inclusive culture that celebrates our differences and 
empowers our people. Through progressive programs and 
initiatives, we will enrich our company’s culture through 
recruitment, retention and development of diverse 
talent throughout the organization. By integrating the 
values of diversity, equity and inclusion into the way we 
do business, we are a better partner to our employees, 
suppliers, customers and communities.
	 From the Top Down
Having enthusiastic support from Adient leadership 
has been vital to the success of our DE&I initiatives. 
Our President and CEO Doug Del Grosso has shown his 
support by signing the CEO Action for Diversity and 
Inclusion pledge to advance diversity and inclusion in 
the workplace, and he and our executive leadership 
team drive our inclusion and belonging strategy. 
Their firm support, along with Adient’s membership 
in organizations such as the Center for Automotive 
Diversity, Inclusion and Advancement (CADIA), provide 
the guidance we need to achieve our DE&I goals.
Since advancing DE&I requires listening to diverse voices, 
our executive leadership team formed regional DE&I 
Councils in 2021 in all three of our business regions 
— Americas, EMEA and APAC — to identify barriers, 
raise awareness, and drive organizational change. 
These councils support and drive progress toward our 
strategic goals in talent acquisition and retention, 
communications and employee feedback, training and 
education, metrics and KPIs, and our employee-run 
BRGs. The councils communicate and collaborate across 
regions to ensure they’re aligned and making shared 
progress toward our enterprisewide DE&I goals. 
In 2022, our Adient 
China team received a 
Best Company X Best 
Practice in DE&I Silver 
Award from sHero.

Adient President and CEO Doug Del Grosso hosts 
quarterly virtual ‘Let’s Talk’ sessions with 15-25 
employees, rotating regions and participants quarterly 
and adding face-to-face sessions as travel permits. These 
small, informal roundtable discussions encourage open 
communication between leadership and employees and 
give participants an opportunity to speak directly with 
our President and CEO.
	 Respectful Workplace Training  
Adient is committed to providing a workplace that is free 
from harassment, discrimination and any other behavior 
that diminishes a person’s integrity and self-esteem, and 
we do not tolerate physical or psychological harassment 
or abuse. We recognize it is up to all our employees 
to create a respectful, safe workplace and require 
management at all our locations to implement equal-
opportunity and no-harassment policies in accordance 
with their national, state or provincial law. 
To help meet our goals, we offer a respectful workplace 
virtual training for all salaried employees globally, 
supplementing our existing local and in-person trainings 
in this area. In fiscal year 2022, more than 10,000 of our 
salaried employees voluntarily completed this respectful 
workplace and unconscious bias training, helping to 
create an inclusive and equitable work culture.
We encourage all our employees, contractors, temporary 
employees, visitors, interns and other non-employees to 
immediately report situations of harassment perpetrated 
by anyone — including visitors and other non-employees 
— to their department manager, plant/facility manager, 
local human resources manager, Legal Compliance, or 
Adient’s Integrity Helpline. Employees who are found 
to have violated our policies following an investigation 
have faced dismissal, disciplinary actions and warnings, 
employee counseling, leadership training, and equal 
employment/anti-harassment training. We also expect 
our suppliers to treat their employees with dignity and 
to maintain workplaces free from discrimination and 
harassment in all forms, and we may terminate a supplier 
that does not comply with these expectations.

	 Our Business Resource Groups
Adient’s nearly two dozen BRGs globally are organized by employees, for employees, and focus on professional 
development, community outreach, education and awareness to build an inclusive culture. Globally, we are 
establishing and expanding our BRGs, creating local inclusion opportunities by country and location. In the Americas 
region, we’re proud to have four growing BRGs and plan to expand to include additional under-represented groups in 
the near future. 
Fiscal year 2022 activities for Adient’s Americas BRGs included:
Black History Month: The 
African Ancestry BRG (AABRG) 
celebrated by sharing a new 
profile of an outstanding Adient 
employee of African descent 
each weekday in February. The 
AABRG also hosted a weekly 
speaker series throughout the 
month. 
Women’s History Month: In 
celebration of Women’s History 
Month and International 
Women’s Day in March, the 
Women’s Resource Network 
(WRN) created a video message 
featuring employees from 
around the world, highlighted 
employees’ stories, and hosted 
a number of virtual events 
throughout the month.

LIFTING UP THE NEXT GENERATION
Detroit Cristo Rey High School. For more than 10 
years, Adient has partnered with Detroit Cristo Rey, 
a high school in southwest Detroit that provides 
a high-quality college preparatory education to 
local students who may not otherwise be able to 
afford it. Part of the curriculum is a work study 
program that exposes students a professional work 
environment. During the 2021-2022 school year, 
Adient sponsored four students who each spent 
four to five days per month during the school 
year at our corporate headquarters in Plymouth. 
Students are assigned managers and mentors to 
guide them as they gain real-world experience 
and knowledge working in our Engineering, IT and 
VA/VE departments. We are very proud to mentor 
these bright students and give them exposure to 
the automotive industry and STEM careers.
Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC). 
Adient’s AABRG has partnered with Atlanta 
University Center Consortium, the world’s oldest 
and largest consortium of historically Black colleges 
and universities. The Consortium is comprised 
of four member institutions — Clark Atlanta 
University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School 
of Medicine, and Spelman College. The AABRG 
offered four summer internships to select students 
in 2022.

Supporting Diverse Suppliers
We recognize the importance of diversity — in both our own workforce and our supply 
base — in driving strong business performance. We are committed to buying from 
diverse suppliers and growing their capacity, and we expect our suppliers to implement 
their own supplier diversity best practices. 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Promote a culture of 
inclusion that celebrates the diversity of our employees, 
suppliers and customers, and empowers them to always 
act with integrity. 
This approach further strengthens our supplier networks 
and helps grow certified diverse-owned businesses.  
	 $1 Billion — Every Year
We have been committed to and engaged in numerous 
supplier diversity initiatives for 29 years and spend more 
than $1 billion with diverse-owned suppliers every year. 
This commitment starts with our President and CEO and 
cascades throughout the organization. We continue to 
achieve our customers’ supplier diversity targets and 
collaborate on initiatives that drive opportunities for 
diverse-owned suppliers. 
Since becoming Adient in October 2016,
we have spent  $7.5 billion with
minority-owned 
businesses
women-owned 
businesses
veteran-owned 
businesses
	 Empowering Every Tier
We encourage our supplier partners to execute supplier 
diversity initiatives — not just buy products and services 
from diverse suppliers — through our Tier 2 initiative. We 
measure suppliers enrolled in this initiative in two areas:
1.	 The number of key Diverse Business Initiatives (DBIs) 
steps, as outlined in our Global Supplier Standards 
Manual, they complete; and
2.	 Their reported purchases with certified diverse-owned 
businesses.
As a result of our unique approach to driving supplier 
diversity across the tiers, our suppliers reported making 
more than $180 million in purchases with diverse-owned 
businesses in fiscal year 2022 and demonstrated 
a significant improvement in executing DBIs compared 
to fiscal year 2021. In fact, 40% of our enrolled suppliers 
attained “Emerging” or “Achieving” status for their 
supplier diversity initiatives in fiscal year 2022 
(compared to 16% in fiscal year 2021).

WALKING THE WALK
We recognize the important role our partners have in 
creating an inclusive work environment and helping 
us reach our highest potential as a company.
For more than two decades, Adient has been 
involved in a successful joint venture with Detroit-
based Bridgewater Interiors, a diverse-owned 
business founded in 1998 as a joint venture between 
Epsilon Technologies and Johnson Controls Inc. 
(whose automotive division became Adient in 2016). 
Bridgewater was created to manufacture automotive 
seating systems for General Motors (GM) and quickly 
established relevance in the automotive supplier 
space, as its initial five-year GM contract was the 
largest an automaker had ever awarded a minority-
owned business. 
President and CEO Ronald E. Hall Sr. led the brand-new 
organization after a successful career in corporate 
management, entrepreneurship and economic 
development, including heading the Michigan 
Minority Supplier Development Council. Today, his son, 
Ronald E. Hall Jr., leads the company, which has since 
expanded from its original Detroit location (below) to 
four facilities in two states with 2,400 employees. Its 
customer list has also grown — from one automaker 
to four, supporting 11 different vehicle models.
“At Adient, we are particularly proud that this forward-
thinking, unique joint venture has stood the test of 
time, continues to grow, and remains a very viable 
venture for our customers,” said Doug Del Grosso, 
Adient president and CEO.
Listen as Del Grosso and Hall Jr. discuss the 
joint venture’s success on “The Michigan 
Opportunity” podcast
Adient is also proud of its joint 
venture with Avanzar Interior 
Technologies. Heriberto “Berto” 
Guerra established Avanzar 
— which means to “advance” or “move forward” in 
Spanish — in 2005 after he learned Toyota 
executives were seeking Hispanic-American supplier 
partners. Guerra and Johnson Controls (now Adient) 
agreed to form a joint venture to supply interiors for 
Toyota’s Tundra truck. 
In founding the company, Guerra, who serves as 
Avanzar’s CEO and chairman, followed his key 
principles of success: Changing the lives of others in 
a positive way, giving back to the community, and 
remembering where he came from. Having grown up 
among very modest surroundings, where he shined 
shoes to financially help his family, he saw Avanzar as 
an opportunity to give back to a supportive community. 
He concentrated on fostering an environment of 
mentorship and family-like support that endures to 
this day, even as Avanzar has grown into a successful 
international Tier 1 automotive supplier.
The seats, door panels and overhead systems 
Avanzar now supplies to Toyota Texas, Toyota Baja 
California and Toyota Guanajuato are vital supply 
chain components to Toyota North American truck 
manufacturing. As part of Toyota’s JIT operations, 
Avanzar products go from order to delivery in less 
than two hours, making Avanzar one of Toyota’s 
most complex and integral suppliers. Avanzar’s 
vision — “Moving towards perfection to become the 
most successful and respected supplier of auto parts” 
— articulates the company’s focus on continuously 
exceeding customers’ expectations.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD
Adient Shah Alam, Malaysia. When a tropical storm 
severely flooded parts of Malaysia in December 
2021, it displaced 87 Adient employees and their 
families and damaged our Adient Shah Alam plant 
in Selangor. Adient employees quickly established 
a rehabilitation fund to help provide aid to our 
colleagues and worked with NGOs to initiate rescue, 
cleanup and repair activities. Our affected employees 
received temporary housing, additional time off and 
a cash subsidy from Adient to help repair their homes, 
and we are taking precautionary measures to help 
mitigate damage from any future flooding at our 
Shah Alam plant.
Adient Kaiserslautern, Germany. After a severe storm 
badly flooded a local daycare near our Kaiserslautern, 
Germany, location, trainees and students organized a 
lemonade stand and bake sale that raised more than 
€1,000 to help repair the daycare center. 
Adient Japan. At our Torihama, Oppama, Toyota 
and Kinryo locations, employees organized a 
fundraiser in March 2022 to benefit the Public 
Interest Incorporated Foundation of Japan Guide 
Dog Association (JGDA). In less than a month, 
Adient Japan employees raised JPY 100,000 for the 
organization. “It is Adient Japan’s pleasure to be able 
to take part in the great efforts done by JDGA,” Adient 
Japan Country Manager Akihisa Kikuchi said, “and we

We understand that, like our customers, our employees 
and potential employees have choices of where to work, 
and we must compete for the best talent.
	 Continuously Improving
We have a global performance-management process 
through which employees provide a self-assessment 
and managers provide evaluation and feedback on 
annual performance. To encourage continuous feedback 
and augment the annual review process, we conduct 
check-ins throughout the year to ensure that employees 
understand their priorities and are progressing as 
expected. This process informs employee development 
goals and development plans. 
Our Leadership Talent Review (LTR) is Adient’s annual 
process for identifying and evaluating talent for 
the purposes of aligning individual aspirations and 
development plans with the organization’s needs 
and building a diverse pipeline of leaders to mitigate 
leadership vacancy risk. LTR is designed to be an inclusive 
process that promotes visibility of talent, increases the 
validity of succession plans, and ensures development 
efforts are applied efficiently. 
The LTR process consists of both potential assessment 
and succession planning. Managers assess and assign a 
potential rating that is reflective of employees predicted 
future performance and confirmed career aspirations. 
In addition, managers identify talent to succeed critical 
positions within Adient. Both potential assessments and 
succession plans are calibrated with broader groups of 
leaders to drive consistency, awareness and alignment on 
decisions and development actions.
	 Adient Accelerate
Adient also makes a substantial investment in employee 
development through its partnership with the University 
of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. Through this 
partnership, Adient offers Adient Accelerate, a leadership

In its sophomore year, Adient brought together a diverse, 
global group of 25 employees from 10 different countries 
to participate in an intensive 16-week program. The 
program includes live virtual sessions with world-class 
Michigan Ross faculty as well as executive coaching. The 
program also includes an action learning project where 
cross-regional and cross-functional project teams were 
tasked with addressing strategic issues that Adient faces. 
These teams were paired up with a Michigan Ross faculty 
member who is an expert in a respective area of the 
project to guide and counsel the project teams. The 
teams presented to senior executives, and two teams had 
the opportunity to present to Adient’s Board of Directors.  
In addition to Adient Accelerate, we continue to evaluate 
our formal development programs and assess the need 
for further programs within respective regions and 
functions, as appropriate.

	 Learning in Motion
Adient’s approach to learning focuses on reinforcing key 
principles that are designed to support an individual’s 
effectiveness in his or her current job, and in future 
situations. At Adient, we live a “Learning in Motion” 
strategy: Learning by Doing, Learning by Others, and 
Learning by Training (with the majority — 70% — being 
Learning by Doing activities). Throughout the world, 
Adient employees are encouraged to develop by doing, 
taking charge of their learning and growth while seeking 
support along the way.
	 Always Advancing
In addition, Adient ensures managers and employees are 
equipped with the tools necessary to continue to learn, 
grow and develop throughout their careers by providing 
technical, soft-skill and leadership training locally and 
specific to their country and/or work location. 
Across the organization, our leaders partner with human 
resources to monitor our talent pipeline and identify 
career advancement opportunities. As Adient is still a 
relatively new and developing company, it continues to 
monitor, review and assess the outcomes of its policies 
on social and employee matters to ensure they are 
having the desired impact.

We maintain a health and safety management system 
that is certified to the ISO 45001 Occupational Health 
and Safety standard. Globally, 100% of our facilities 
are internally audited and compliant, and 60% are also 
third-party audited and certified. We plan to be 100% 
certified by the end of fiscal year 2023.
year 2022. To achieve this, we work together across 
the globe, sharing best practice ideas, procedures and 
information regarding accidents and injuries. Our Adient 
Manufacturing System principles serve as the foundation 
upon which we create our procedures and define our 
expected behaviors, and we work to standardize how to 
work safely in our plants, offices and technical centers.

	 Our Approach to Risk
Every change in machine, operation, building or 
workstation requires a safety risk assessment. When 
our employees come to work, they can know that where 
they work has undergone an extensive review to identify 
associated risks of injury or illness and that those risks 
are eliminated and/or minimized through our robust 
processes and controls. We review these risks using the 
most up-to-date technology and associated regulatory 
requirements within each country.
	 Managing and Utilizing Data
Over the past several years, we have invested in and 
embraced technology to assist us in centralizing our 
environmental, health and safety data collection 
through cloud-based software. At the click of a button, 
we can view metrics and data trends at the facility, 
country, regional or global level, which gives us greater 
transparency and the ability to create more thorough 
and efficient action plans. This has helped Adient move 
toward a more robust, leading-indicator-driven approach 
to risk management.

Adient operations globally use Kaizen, a continuous 
improvement philosophy, to enhance quality, 
improve ergonomics, and eliminate waste. During 
the pandemic, our health and safety team 
pioneered virtual “small bites” Kaizens aimed at 
reducing risk through targeted activities based on 
historical injury data. 
In fiscal year 2021, our Americas health and 
safety teams completed four virtual ergonomics 
projects and improved 24% of the 213 identified 
jobs. In fiscal year 2022, our teams completed an 
additional 11 ergonomics projects in our Americas 
complete seat, metals, foam and trim plants. 
This resulted in ergonomic improvements in 61% 
of the 204 identified jobs or areas — a significant 
improvement over fiscal year 2021. 
For fiscal year 2023, the team is utilizing newly 
acquired motion-capture technology to augment 
and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the 
ergonomic risk-assessment process. This will help 
our teams spend less time on risk assessments 
and more time on making improvements to our 
manufacturing processes.
	 Protecting Potential
With new risks to health and safety emerging faster than 
ever before, we’re focused on enhancing our Emergency 
Management risk-reduction program to ensure we’re 
prepared to respond quickly and effectively in an 
emergency. The goal of this program is to:
	>
Provide as much consistency and structure as possible 
to our emergency management response
	>
Protect our employees and communities

Overview
We are committed to operating our business ethically and in accordance with applicable 
laws and regulations. 
We are supporting the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
	 Board Oversight and Risk 
Management
Adient’s Board of Directors, as a whole or through its 
committees, oversees an enterprisewide approach to 
risk management that is intended to achieve Adient’s 
long-term strategic and organizational objectives and 
enhance shareholder value. Management is responsible 
for the day-to-day management of the risks Adient 
may face, while the Board, as a whole and through 
its committees, is responsible for the oversight of risk 
management. In this risk oversight role, the Board is 
responsible for ensuring that the risk management 
framework, and any supporting processes implemented 
by management, are adequate and functioning as 
designed. A summary of the primary areas of risk 
oversight of the Board and its committees can be found 
in Adient’s 2023 Proxy Statement.
The Board’s risk management oversight includes 
responsibility for the full range of risks and opportunities 
related to the impact of environmental, social and 
governance matters on Adient’s business and strategy. 
Adient’s ESG Steering Committee — which is comprised 
of the President and CEO, Chief Financial Officer, Chief 
Legal and Human Resources Officer, Vice President of 
Global Sustainability, Vice President of Investor Relations, 
Executive Vice President EMEA, and the Executive 
Director of Sustainability — meets quarterly to review 
key sustainability initiatives, activities and disclosures, 
and the Vice President of Global Sustainability reports 
monthly to the Board on its strategic short-term and 
longer-term initiatives and objectives in these areas.
In addition, the Board’s Corporate Governance 
Committee is responsible for overseeing Adient’s ESG 
strategies, initiatives, policies and practices, as well as the 
Company’s public disclosures of ESG matters, including 
annually reviewing the Sustainability Report. 
Board member Peter Carlin continues to provide Board-
level ESG oversight to management and provides 
advisory input on our annual Sustainability Report. 
Similarly, the Human Capital and Compensation 
Committee is responsible for overseeing Adient’s policies 
and strategies related to broad human capital matters. 
The Human Capital and Compensation Committee 
receives updates on key human capital trends and 
metrics, as well as key management observations 
regarding such trends and metrics, at least two times 
per year. These metrics include Leadership Workforce 
Profile, Executive Talent Pipeline, Voluntary Turnover, and 
Retention and Attraction.

Ethics and Integrity 
Our Ethics Policy is our foundational document, and we are focused on maintaining 
a robust speak-up culture where all our people are empowered to act with integrity.
Corporate Governance: Implement and oversee 
robust corporate ESG policies, practices and processes, 
and operate our business ethically and in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations. 
Human Rights: Uphold human rights, eliminate harassment 
and discrimination in all its forms, and ensure our suppliers 
abide by these same values.

	 Integrity Helpline
We encourage anyone who has ethics-related concerns 
or questions to report them via our 24-hour Integrity 
Helpline, and we enforce a strict no-retaliation policy for 
employees who report concerns in good faith.
Every question or concern submitted to the Integrity 
Helpline is triaged and routed to the appropriate 
team for handling, investigation and response. Our 
investigators follow the guidelines in our Investigation 
Protocol and receive periodic training on investigation 
best practices. Our Chief Legal Officer reviews our 
Integrity Helpline statistics regularly, our Audit 
Committee reviews them biannually, and our Regional 
Compliance Committees review them periodically.
But the Integrity Helpline is just one of several ways to 
ask questions or raise concerns. Employees often discuss 
questions or concerns directly with their supervisor; 
these managers may then escalate issues to Human 
Resources or Legal Compliance, if needed. We encourage 
our employees to speak up and raise concerns however 
they are most comfortable — whether through their 
supervisor, their Human Resources representative, our 
Legal Compliance department or the Integrity Helpline.

	 Annual Ethics Campaign
Each year, our salaried global workforce certifies 
compliance with our Ethics Policy. This year, 99%+ of 
these employees certified their compliance. We also run 
a similar annual Ethics Certification Campaign for our 
China joint ventures; 100% of those employees certified 
their compliance with our Ethics Policy.
	 Compliance Training
We provide our employees with extensive compliance 
training on topics such as antitrust compliance, conflicts 
of interest, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, compliance 
awareness, speak-up culture, trade compliance, diversity 
and inclusion, data privacy and more. This training 
program includes a combination of classroom-style 
trainings and online training modules. Our training 
plan takes a risk-based approach and tailors training 
to particular functions based on the risk presented. We 
also modify our training plan throughout the year to 
incorporate lessons learned from internal investigations.
	 Governance and Board Oversight
Our Board of Directors and senior leadership team set 
the tone at the top with their collective commitment 
to integrity, ethics and compliance. Our Board’s 
Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews and 
evaluates our Compliance Program and Ethics Policy. The 
Compliance Program’s Charter defines key elements of 
the Program and how it’s governed.
Our President and CEO and other senior leaders regularly 
communicate the importance of ethics and compliance 
to Adient employees through regular town hall meetings, 
staff meetings, messages cascaded through their direct 
reports, and email communications to employees.
	 Risk Assessment and Analysis
Adient and its Legal Compliance team evaluate risk on 
an ongoing basis. Each year, we conduct an Enterprise 
Risk survey, which the Legal Compliance team uses to 
help develop its training plan and other initiatives. Our 
Legal Compliance team also periodically reviews the 
design and effectiveness of its program, which may 
include internal audits, self-evaluations, gap analyses, 
surveys and other feedback channels. 
Our Legal Compliance team regularly monitors legal and 
regulatory developments and informs management and 
leadership of those developments and their impact on 
the company.
	 Regional Compliance 
Committees
We have three active Regional Compliance Committees 
in EMEA, APAC and the Americas regions. The 
Committees contain cross-functional leaders from 
various areas — including Purchasing, Finance, 
Human Resources, Legal, Internal Audit, Operations, 
and Commercial — and meet quarterly. Our regional 
executive vice presidents chair these meetings where 
leaders are briefed on compliance initiatives, policies, 
procedures and lessons learned from recent internal 
investigations. These leaders also receive trainings and 
messages to cascade to their teams and to embed 
compliance initiatives and procedures in their areas of 
the business.

Bribery and Corruption
We do not tolerate any form of bribery with our business dealings and actively 
oppose corruption within our business. Our stance against bribery and corruption 
is a key statement of principle in our Ethics Policy.
Corporate Governance: Implement and oversee 
robust corporate ESG policies, practices and processes, 
and operate our business ethically and in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations.

As a global enterprise, we are subject to laws that govern 
our international operations, including laws that prohibit 
bribery and corruption and laws regarding international 
trade and sanctions. These laws include but are not 
limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), 
the Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act, the 
U.K. Bribery Act, the U.S. Export Administration Act as 
well as international economic sanctions and money-
laundering regulations. 
We also utilize internal policies and procedures relating 
to compliance with such laws and regulations to protect 
Adient from risks associated with the improper acts 
of employees, agents, business partners, joint venture 
partners or representatives.
	 Policies and Procedures
In addition to our Ethics Policy, our Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption Standard, Global Supplier Standards Manual, 
Terms and Conditions, and other compliance program 
elements (including training) provide detailed guidance 
to our employees, third parties and joint ventures 
regarding how to conduct business with integrity and 
make decisions that are legal, ethical, responsible, and 
minimize risks related to bribery and corruption. 
The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Standard describes 
the types of prohibited conduct, such as bribes, kickbacks, 
facilitation payments and improper gifts, travel and 
entertainment; provides guidance on how to identify, 
address and mitigate third-party risk, including a due 
diligence review process for high-risk suppliers; requires 
that any pre-approved, appropriate government-related 
expenditures are properly listed in expense reports and 
in Adient’s books and records; and provides a reporting 
mechanism for any potential misconduct. 
	 Acting to Minimize Risk
To help prevent bribery and corruption, we are:
	>
Collaborating with our senior leaders to identify 
Adient employees whose job responsibilities have a 
higher corruption risk, which facilitates targeted anti-
corruption training and guidance
	>
Providing targeted anti-bribery and anti-corruption 
employee training globally
	>
Embracing a speak-up culture where our no-
retaliation policy strongly encourages reporting 
bribery, corruption and other ethical concerns
	>
Managing corruption allegations via our allegation 
case management system, which provides alerts and 
priority ranking for corruption allegations
	>
Leveraging our internal investigation procedures for 
guidance on when and to whom high-risk allegations 
should be escalated
Additionally, we conduct thorough due diligence of 
our high-risk suppliers, such as government-facing 
consultants and customs brokers. These suppliers 
must complete a lengthy questionnaire, make certain 
representations and certifications, and undergo an 
extensive screening process at onboarding and are 
monitored on an ongoing basis. In addition, we offer 
online anti-bribery training to our high-risk suppliers.

Trade Compliance
We are committed to complying with applicable laws — including laws regarding the 
international trade of goods, services and technology — as noted in our Ethics Policy. 
Such laws include exports controls, sanctions, embargoes, import/export regulations, 
and supply chain security programs.
Corporate Governance: Implement and oversee 
robust corporate ESG policies, practices and processes, 
and operate our business ethically and in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations.

We use personal data for specific purposes to support our 
operations and provide employee benefits. We inform 
individuals about the collection and processing of their 
data as well as their rights regarding their personal data, 
as required by applicable data and privacy laws. 
Access to personal data is limited to those employees 
who need it for business purposes, and additional 
safeguards are in place to protect personal data. Our 
data privacy procedures govern how to review and 
document privacy requirements and impact, and we 
conduct data privacy training for our employees to 
ensure they understand their rights and obligations for 
securing personal information.
Our supplier due diligence process includes performing 
a privacy risk analysis and checking their compliance 
with applicable privacy laws, including cross-border 
data transfer requirements. We also incorporate privacy 
terms and conditions in applicable contracts. We follow 
local data protection and privacy laws and continuously 
monitor changes in this area. Adient has an internal 
network of local privacy coordinators that support 
Adient’s Global Privacy office.

We are committed to meeting our product safety 
responsibilities under the IATF 16949 requirements 
and VDA Product Integrity standards. This includes 
ensuring we have trained Product Safety and Conformity 
Representatives at the appropriate locations.
	 Our Processes
Safety is top of mind as our products move from concept 
to prototype to deliverable on the manufacturing line. 
Through quality assurance and other processes, we 
monitor product safety and focus on preventing issues.
Where product safety issues arise, our Potential 
Product Safety Concern process defines the steps for 
investigating and resolving issues. Through this process, 
concerns are escalated as needed and addressed swiftly 
through the proper channels.
	 Safety Culture
We promote a culture of safety at Adient where our 
employees are empowered to identify potential safety 
issues with our products. Employees receive annual 
product safety training, and certification requirements 
are in place to continuously reinforce expectations for all 
responsible employees. In fiscal year 2022, we expanded 
our product safety communications to include a 
presentation on the importance of product safety, which 
was shared with Adient plant employees.  
Additionally, our internal network of subject matter 
experts and subject matter technical experts in 
Product Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Quality 
and Operations are active participants in ensuring 
product safety and work to capture learning and, where 
applicable, drive updates to standards and support their 
implementation across Adient.

Supplier Management
We expect our suppliers to conduct their businesses safely, sustainably and 
in compliance with applicable regulatory guidelines. 
Corporate Governance: Implement and oversee 
robust corporate ESG policies, practices and processes,

To help ensure we are working with reliable, high-
quality suppliers whose values align with ours, we have 
developed specific systems, processes and criteria for 
selecting suppliers. Our supplier selection process helps 
us choose businesses with proven financial and quality 
ratings and a track record for implementing the principles 
of the UN Global Compact. We are also implementing 
our new supplier due diligence tool, which will help assess 
our suppliers’ sustainability activities.
	 Our Expectations
Our Ethics Policy and Global Supplier Standards Manual 
outline the minimum set of expectations we have 
for our suppliers, including our expectation that they 
demonstrate their commitment to quality and creating 
a sustainable future for their employees, customers, 
communities and environment. 
In October 2022, we updated the GSSM to reflect 
updated legal and ESG requirements for suppliers. All 
Adient suppliers are required to respond to information 
requests from Adient regarding sustainability activities 
and the sources and uses of conflict minerals in their 
products, including information about minerals that are 
recycled or scrap and as well requests related to the UN 
Global Compact. 
Suppliers that do not accept and comply with our 
requirements could be restricted from receiving any new 
Adient business. We have also implemented a process 
to help prevent potential conflicts of interest as we are 
onboarding new suppliers. 
To help us meet our own ESG commitments, we work to 
help our suppliers:
	>
Follow applicable laws, regulations and our Ethics 
Policy (or the supplier’s own equivalent code of 
conduct)
	>
Integrate environmental, occupational health and 
safety, human rights and labor policies into their 
business processes 
	>
Implement environmental sustainability programs

biodiversity, reducing of water usage and waste, 
improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse 
gas emissions and carbon footprint, and limiting 
deforestation

Climate-related risks pose serious threats to people 
and organizations all over the world. At Adient, we 
recognize the importance of communicating our 
climate-related risks and opportunities transparently 
and clearly to our stakeholders in order to support our 
vision to create a sustainable future together. To do 
so, we have aligned this Sustainability Report to the 
TCFD’s recommendations on climate disclosures, and we 
encourage all our stakeholders to do the same.
	 Governance
Our Board of Directors and senior managers ensure 
we operate our business ethically and in accordance 
with applicable laws and regulations, and they oversee 
our ESG policies and strategy with input from a cross-
functional team of subject matter experts across our 
organization. Vice President of Global Sustainability 
Tammi Dukes reports to President and CEO Doug Del 
Grosso, and Board member Peter Carlin, who was 
appointed by the Corporate Governance Committee to 
oversee ESG opportunities, provides Board-level oversight 
of ESG topics at Adient, including climate-related risks. 
We manage climate-related issues through Adient’s 
enterprise risk-management process.
	 Strategy
Climate change both poses risks and creates 
opportunities for Adient. Climate-related risks may have 
both financial and strategic impacts. Monitoring these 
over the short, medium, and long-term is essential for 
effective strategic planning. In terms of opportunities, 
Adient recognizes that its transformation into a 
sustainable business will drive new revenue growth as 
well as cost savings.
Our approach is three-fold. First, we describe different 
scenarios, i.e., possible evolutions of the global economic, 
social, regulatory and environmental conditions. Second, 
we conduct an exhaustive screening of possible risks 
and opportunities. Last, we assess these risks and 
opportunities in each of our scenarios.
We are using three climate scenarios for our analysis: The 
underlying data used in modeling is based on climate 
scenarios used by the Network for Greening the Financial 
System (NGFS), the International Environmental Agency 
(IEA), and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
	>
1.5 degrees Celsius scenario: Based on NGFS’ 
“Net Zero 2050” scenario and the IPCC’s “SSP1-
1.9” scenario. The world is on track to keep global 
warming to 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial 
levels by 2050. Both disorderly and orderly pathways 
are considered, and the outcome is averaged. In the 
orderly pathway, climate policies are introduced early 
and become gradually more stringent, allowing both 
physical and transition risks to be relatively subdued. 
In the disorderly pathway, the change is late, 
disruptive, sudden and unanticipated, and there are 
higher transition risks due to policies being delayed or 
divergent across countries and sectors.
	>
2 degrees Celsius scenario: Based on the IEA’s 
“Stated Policies” scenario and the IPCC’s “SSP2-4.5” 
scenario. This scenario reflects the impact of existing 
policy frameworks and today’s announced policy 
intentions, e.g., Nationally Determined Contributions. 
There is delayed policy response and reduced 
availability of CO2e removal (CDR) technologies.
	>
3 degrees Celsius scenario: Based on the IEA’s 
“Current Policies” scenario and the IPCC’s “SSP5-
8.5” scenario. This scenario reflects how global 
energy markets would evolve if governments made 
no changes to their existing policies and measures. 
Nationally Determined Contributions are not met, 
and emissions grow until 2080, leading to severe 
physical risks.
The screening of the possible risks and opportunities is 
exhaustive: We consider transition risks (e.g., change in 
regulation, supply chain issues, change in stakeholders’ 
expectations including investors, customers, end-users 
and staff) and physical risks (e.g., acute and chronic 
risks for Adient’s assets, activities and staff), as well as 
revenue, cost and asset opportunities. Four risks and two 
opportunities were identified for Adient:

Task Force on Climate-related 
Financial Disclosures  |  continued
	 Risk Management
At Adient, senior leadership identifies, assesses and 
manages key risks that may impact the ability to achieve 
strategic objectives through the annual enterprise 
risk-management process. An executive management 
sponsor is responsible for monitoring each key risk with 
risk owners, including mitigating actions. The Board 
of Directors oversees management actions through 
ongoing financial and operational reporting, including 
strategic planning and risk-management activities.  
	 Metrics and Targets
We define our sustainability-related KPIs in line with 
guidance from international standards (e.g., WRI, GRI 
and SASB). Our KPIs reflect the areas of sustainability 
that are relevant and material to our business, and we 
calculate them in an accurate and consistent way, and 
disclose them transparently and consistently. We are 
reporting on the impact of our operations and supply 
chain above using these KPIs and following these 
principles: see pages 16 and 23.

(6+)
Risk: Customer Behavior
OEMs have started to impose targets on their Tier 1 suppliers (e.g., requiring them to 
switch to renewable electricity). Failure to meet customer expectations may result in 
the loss of business, diluted market valuation and an inability to attract customers.
Risk: Investor Behavior
Not meeting investors’ increasing expectations on ESG performance could make it 
more difficult for Adient to access capital or increase the cost of such capital and 
may result in a diluted market evaluation.
Risk: Carbon Tax
Rising carbon tax may impact profit through increased taxes (on direct emissions 
from operations) and costs (suppliers may reflect their own carbon tax increase in 
selling prices for all the products and services used in operations).
Risk: Physical
Adient’s assets may be damaged by extreme weather events like hurricanes or heat 
waves, incurring repair or replacement costs. Operations may also be interrupted 
(e.g., due to heat waves, storms, floods, etc.), incurring delays in production and 
delivery.
Opportunity: 
Cost Savings
Cost savings from more effective management of energy, water and transport. For 
example, water management initiatives, such as leak management, reduce water 
consumption.
Opportunity: Customer
Contracts
Being a first mover on sustainability issues could give a competitive
advantage, as Adient would become a trusted partner to OEMs. This would
enable an increase in revenue through winning additional OEM contracts.
Finally, we analyze each of these risks and opportunities in the context of our three scenarios.

Greenhouse Gas Protocol Reporting
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol has created a 
comprehensive, global, standardized framework for 
measuring and managing emissions from private and 
public sector operations. Adient’s carbon footprint has 
been calculated in line with the WRI’s internationally 
recognized reporting standards: 
	>
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol — A Corporate 
Accounting and Reporting Standard (2015 revised 
edition) 
	>
GHG Protocol: Scope 2 Guidance (amendment to 
GHG Protocol) (2015), GHG Protocol Corporate Value 
Chain (Scope 3) Accounting (2011) 
	>
GHG Protocol Technical Guidance for Calculating 
Scope 3 Emissions (version 1.0) 
Categories excluded from Adient’s carbon footprint 
report are listed in the table at right. 
Category
Justification for exclusion
Scope 3 Emissions
8. Upstream leased assets
Adient does not have any Scope 3 upstream leased assets. Adient does lease offices and 
manufacturing buildings; however, these emissions fall under Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
9. Downstream transport and 
distribution
Transportation from Adient’s operating buildings to direct customers (automotive OEMs)
is already accounted for in Scope 3 category 4. Transportation from OEM customers to
end users is excluded on the grounds of lack of influence, limited risk (not core to business
operations), and lack of reliable data to base the analysis on.
10. Processing of sold products
All emissions associated with the processing of car seats in the OEMs’ operations are
excluded on the grounds of lack of influence, limited risk (not core to business operations),
and lack of reliable data to base the analysis on.
11. Use of sold products
Emissions from the use of car seats sold are excluded on the grounds of lack of influence,
limited risk (not core to business operations), and lack of reliable data to base the analysis
on.
12. End of life treatment of 
sold products
Adient has no operational control over the end-of-life treatment of sold products and
would not be able to get reliable data to calculate these emissions.
13. Downstream leased assets
Adient does not have any leased downstream assets.
14. Franchises
Adient does not own any franchises.
15. Investments
Adient’s strategic joint venture network includes both consolidated and unconsolidated operations; 
the unconsolidated joint ventures are not included in the scope of this report.
