Scoring the world’s automakers
on their EV supply chains
This year showed steady progress across the industry, in particular on fossil-free steel and human rights due diligence. U.S. automakers are making the fastest progress, led by Tesla who shot up in the rankings from #9 to #3 in one year – the biggest increase of all the automakers.
However, progress by the industry as a whole is lackluster when compared to the scale of the challenge ahead: one third of the automakers evaluated have still taken no concrete action on steel and aluminum, average scores across the indicators on responsible transition mineral sourcing, Indigenous Peoples’ rights and workers’ rights have risen by just 2 percentage points.

On August 01 2024, Stellantis approved a standalone company policy on Free, Prior and Informed Consent, becoming the first automaker to approve a standalone policy on this issue.
