AUMOVIO announced its membership in the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), a move the company says aligns with its sustainability due diligence framework and commitment to ethical operations across its global supply chain.
The RBA is a nonprofit coalition founded in 2004, originally known as the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition. It has grown to become one of the largest industry groups focused on corporate social responsibility in global supply chains, with more than 380 member companies representing combined annual revenues exceeding $7.7 trillion and a workforce of over 21.5 million people.
AUMOVIO, which began operating as an independent company in September 2025 following its spin-off from Continental AG, produces automotive electronics including sensor solutions, displays, braking systems, and software platforms for vehicles. The company reported sales of €19.6 billion in fiscal year 2024 and employs more than 86,000 people across over 100 locations worldwide.
As part of its RBA membership, AUMOVIO said it will engage suppliers in capacity-building programs for responsible sourcing, implement digital traceability tools for supply chain transparency, and integrate human rights principles into employee training and grievance mechanisms.
Nino Romano, AUMOVIO's Chief Technology Officer and Head of Automotive Operations and Technology, said the membership represents a step toward ensuring the company's value chain upholds sustainability principles and protects communities and the environment.
The membership complements AUMOVIO's existing participation in industry initiatives including CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, and its alignment with the UN Global Compact. The company also maintains internal controls in accordance with Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, or LkSG).
RBA members commit to a common Code of Conduct that covers labor standards, environmental practices, and ethical business conduct. The code is based on international standards including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Labour Organization standards, and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The announcement comes as AUMOVIO establishes its operations following its separation from Continental. The spin-off, which was completed with the company's listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on September 18, 2025, was intended to give the automotive technology business greater flexibility in a changing industry environment.
