The Sustainability Committee shall advise the Auto Care Association on ways to increase the awareness on the importance of sustainability and on ways to support the members to enhance industry practices to become more environmentally friendly. The committee shall also advise the association on promoting the sustainable image of the auto care industry and to advise and influence legislative policies in the best interest of the environment and for the benefit of the members of the Auto Care Association.
