3 CHEMICAL ISSUES MANAGEMENT Provides a forum for discussing emerging chemical issues of potential impact to automotive manufacturers and the supply chain. Creating Materials Assessment Strategy (MAS) to develop a common health and environmental hazard, exposure and risk screening process for chemicals in vehicle parts/processes. Current effort focused on End of Life Vehicle Materials. Chair: David Woodyard, Global Manager, Sustainability, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Goodyear participates in the Suppliers Partnership for the Environment as an important means for helping us build our sustainability foundation.

4 ENERGY MANAGEMENT Support ongoing discussions and action between automakers, their suppliers, and government entities on energy and water issues affecting the operations of companies in the automobile supply chain. Developing energy management pilot program focused on driving energy efficiency through the supply chain and using benchmarking, process capability analysis and best practice sharing to improve energy efficiency and industry competitiveness. Co-Chairs: Mark Werthman, Manager, Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Policy, Chrysler Group Jonathon Spitz, Sr. Managing Director, Building Efficiency, Johnson Controls, Inc.

5 MATERIALS EFFICIENCY Developing and deploying environmental technologies and programs in order to reduce environmental impacts, gain financial value, as well as promote environmental sustainability. Identifying ways to provide value within the automotive supply chain by working together to reduce waste, promote reuse and maximize recycling. Chair: John Bradburn, Manager of Waste Reduction Efforts, General Motors Our companies' ability to compete has been greatly improved by the opportunity to be part of SP. We have taken the environmental impacts of our company and learned to address them like all the other traditional elements that impact our business. The result has been tremendous savings to the company, improved employee empowerment and a significant improvement to our environmental footprint. By working closely with GM, Lear and the other partners, BAE has become more competitive and truly developed a partnership with the "big guys." That kind of partnership was almost impossible in the past. Where else can you get the clout of the OEM's on the budget of a small supplier. Mark Doetsch, Vice President Quality BAE Industries, Inc.

6 TECHNOLOGY & NETWORKING Providing a forum through which member companies share opportunities and processes for SP's smaller-sized companies to communicate directly and efficiently with the OEMs and Tier I suppliers in the organization and automotive industry. Co-Chairs: Russell Brynolf, CEO, FTS Technologies David O Ryan, President, Advanced Technology & Marketing Group LLC SP Summit on Accelerating Innovation to Drive Sustainable Automotive Manufacturing Growth Across North America Oakland University, MI June 26-27, 2013 SP provides my company, and all other member companies, a unique forum to discuss and collaborate on ideas, projects, and initiatives that can be used to benefit everyone in the industry. Each member company has something to offer, whether it s a product or a service. Maybe that individual product or service is all that s needed to have a meaningful environmental impact and the forum of companies provides the means to communicate it to the right people. Or, as in most cases, a collection of companies realize the unique benefits each one offers and collaborate to produce the product or service needed to satisfy and particular need. Combining forces enables new ideas and technologies to have a meaningful impact up and down the supply chain, improving environmental impact, improving manufactured products, and improving relationships between huge OEMs and relatively small companies like FTS Technologies It s the only group I m aware of that breeds success every week, month, and year. Russell Brynolf, CEO, FTS Technologies
