Summary

• Has established a new target to achieve a 25% reduction in its upstream supply chain emissions by 2030. 
• Achieved a 10 percentage point score increase in the batteries subsection, for starting to disclose disaggregated battery supply chain emissions data at the vehicle level and for disclosing more specific information on environmental due diligence undertaken for its lithium and nickel supply chains.
• Did not improve its performance against any of the steel and aluminum indicators, despite having set targets with the First Movers’ Coalition on near-zero steel and aluminum procurement. 
• The only company assessed that discloses data about the number and percentage of supplier non-conformances, including detail as to their type and severity. However, unlike previous years, the company failed to disclose both the number of Corrective Action Plans issued and whether any contracts were terminated due to non-compliance. 
• The only company in the Leaderboard to assess its grievance mechanism against the UN Guiding Principles Effectiveness Criteria, and one of only two automakers to explain rightsholders’ participation in the determination of remedy. 
• Lost points in the Responsible Minerals Sourcing subsection for eliminating a mineral-specific grievance mechanism previously in place - an area where the company had in the past demonstrated industry-wide best practice. However, still illustrates some of the best responsible mineral sourcing practices in other areas, including 3TG smelter/refiner disclosure, IRMA auditing, and direct engagement with smelters and refiners. 
• Still the only company to fully commit to respecting UNDRIP and FPIC, and place the same unqualified requirements on suppliers. Has now also disclosed steps for guaranteeing FPIC by mining suppliers, as well as an explanation as to how it will respond to findings of FPIC breaches, the only company to do so. 
• One of only three companies to commit to a living wage and to require supplies to pay a living wage.
