Message to Our Stakeholders

Sustainability has always been integral to how we do business at Motion. For nearly 50 years, we have helped our customers keep their essential machinery running safely and efficiently instead of replacing it.

What has changed is the world around us. Our customers, employees, suppliers and communities are looking for us to do more. Today, more than ever, sustainability is tied to business performance. It’s part of how we grow, operate and deliver long-term value.

That’s why we follow a practical yet scalable approach: setting clear priorities, executing with discipline and delivering measurable results with a focus on continuous improvement. Our values — fair, ethical, inclusive and invested — guide how we work every day, inform our decisions and support our commitment to responsible growth.

This year’s Sustainability Report outlines the steps we’re taking to strengthen our sustainability foundation while meeting the needs of our stakeholders. Our efforts are helping us build a more resilient, responsive and responsible business.

Growing Our Business

We expanded our operations and impact through six strategic acquisitions that brought new capabilities and expertise into our portfolio. We also opened a third distribution center in Texas designed with efficiency and environmental performance in mind. These moves reinforce our longterm strategy of sustainable growth, adding value without compromise.

Sustaining Our World for Future Generations

We continued to improve transparency around our environmental impact. In 2024, our parent company, Genuine Parts Company (GPC) implemented a new third-party carbon accounting calculation tool. This technology-enabled solution will allow GPC and its subsidiaries to more accurately calculate and monitor our GHG emissions, strengthening the foundation of our sustainability efforts. With the implementation of this tool, 2024 will serve as our new baseline year for measuring and reporting our global GHG emissions. This baseline establishes a clear point of reference from which we will track our progress toward reducing our environmental impact. We remain dedicated to continuously refining our data inputs and calculation methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable emissions reporting. In partnership with our parent company, Genuine Parts Company (GPC), we also completed our first climate risk assessment, helping us better understand how climate-related factors could affect our business and our customers.

Caring for Our People

We continue to prioritize employee health and wellbeing through a strong commitment to workplace safety and ongoing improvements to our safety program. We’re also investing in our team’s growth through expanded training, professional development, mentorship opportunities and internship and apprenticeship programs. By fostering a culture of safety, learning and support, we empower our employees to thrive and grow alongside our business.

Supporting Our Communities

Our teammates logged more than 730 volunteer hours in their communities to provide stable housing, education, nutrition and health services to people in need. We also expanded our involvement with the American Heart Association, March of Dimes and United Ability. These collaborations reflect our dedication to making a meaningful impact beyond the workplace, improving the health and lives of the people in the communities we serve.

Operating With Integrity

We continue to align our governance programs with direction from GPC, its leadership and the board of directors. We monitor effectiveness through various channels, including enterprise risk management, internal and external audits, and a robust Quality Management System. In 2024, we increased the number of ISO 9001 certified sites by 20%. This achievement underscores our dedication to delivering consistent excellence and operational integrity.

As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advance responsible business practices that protect the planet, support our people and communities, and uphold strong ethical standards.

Thank you to our teammates, partners and suppliers for your continued contributions to exceed customers’ expectations, invest in our communities and improve the world around us.
