Summary

• Updated and strengthened several environmental and supply chain policies, clarifying supplier requirements for science-based CO2 reduction targets and deforestation risk management.
• Identified natural rubber as a priority material for sustainability initiatives and joined the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) in 2025.
• Made incremental improvement in aluminium circularity, with the disclosure of closed-loop recycling processes at Nissan Motor Kyushu and plants in North America and Europe, as well as examples of using post-consumer aluminium scrap to produce suspension parts.
• Provides only high-level disclosure of potential environmental risks for battery minerals, relying solely on third-party sources. 
• Has begun to disclose information about processes to identify high risk suppliers and mitigate risks, identified supply chain human rights risks, and supplier monitoring systems. 
• Does not offer a clear grievance channel for rightsholders along the supply chain to raise concerns directly with the company. 
• Has a new Responsible Materials Sourcing Policy which now requires suppliers to undertake due diligence in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from CAHRAs in relation to “all minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas”, to have a human rights due diligence process for all raw materials, and to establish traceability systems.  
• Remains one of the industry laggards on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, with no action whatsoever to move its performance from 0%.
• Has strengthened supplier requirements on Workers’ Rights, but is yet to fully commit and require supplier compliance with the ILO’s five fundamental principles and rights at work without qualifications, and discloses very little to demonstrate how the company is actually enforcing these requirements.
