Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Genuine Parts Company

We started implementing our carbon emissions abatement strategies, analyzing our results and sharing best practices across our global footprint. We based this work on the first global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) footprint we completed in 2021, and we will continue to refine how we capture data to provide a more comprehensive, precise and accurate assessment of our emissions.

Additionally, we believe GPC has a unique opportunity to position ourselves as an industry disruptor. As more electronic vehicles (EVs) hit the road, we aim to become the #1 aftermarket EV supplier for EV owners. We are building an extensive supply chain for EV parts and providing state-of-the-art training to help auto technicians learn how to repair EVs safely and effectively. Our work is just beginning, and we are committed to taking actions that result in tangible, lasting change.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

“Beginning in 1928 with our founder, Carlyle Fraser, GPC has always been a huge advocate for giving back to the communities we serve. He used to say, ‘if you’re not giving back to the community, you’re not doing it right.’ We have continued to honor this philosophy over the years through our long-standing tradition of community service and active engagement.” -Venitia Smith, Director of Employee and Community Relations-
