Introducing IGNITE
Two key phases
2025-2028
After 2028
Performing today, outperforming tomorrow
Best-in-class performance starts with strong execution: every day, everywhere. Our FORVIA Excellence System provides a clear foundation for how we operate and continuously improve – grounded in our strong commitment to safety, customer satisfaction or sustainability. Through IGNITE, we are scaling this performance mindset across the entire value chain, from R&D and engineering to industrial operations, supply chain and productivity. By raising our standards, simplifying what slows us down, strengthening resilience, sharpening our investment structure and using digital and AI to enhance competitiveness, we ensure reliable delivery today while building the capabilities needed to outperform tomorrow.
A new portfolio structure driving leadership and performance
With IGNITE, we’re introducing a new portfolio framework built around two complementary clusters: Growth and Value. Each plays a distinct role in how we create value over time. Together, they bring balance to our portfolio, combining businesses that drive future expansion with those that deliver strong performance and resilience. This approach helps us stay disciplined in how we allocate capital and focus our efforts, while making the most of our strengths across the Group. The goal is simple: give every activity a clear role and move forward with clarity and confidence.
The Growth cluster
The Growth cluster, bringing together Electronics and Seating, is where we’re doubling down on leadership positions and future growth. These businesses are closely connected to the megatrends transforming the automotive industry, from electrification and software-defined vehicles to new in-cabin experiences. With strong technology, solid customer relationships and global scale, the focus here is on growing profitably over the long term. We’ll keep investing in innovation, stay close to our customers and expand in high-potential markets to strengthen our leadership where it matters most.
The Value cluster
The Value cluster – Clean Mobility, Clarion, Lifecycle Solutions and Lighting – plays a different role. Here, the priority is performance, cash generation and operational improvement. Some activities are strong cash contributors with solid margins, while others offer clear opportunities to improve efficiency and unlock value over time. With disciplined investment and a sharp focus on execution, this cluster helps create the financial flexibility that supports our overall balance and future growth.
Moving fast, owning results
IGNITE is about moving faster and owning results. We’re giving each division the freedom and responsibility to make decisions, invest wisely and get things done – within clear boundaries. At the same time, we’re building a culture where teams are empowered, accountable and work together. The result? Faster decisions, stronger ownership and better outcomes for everyone.
