Summary

• Has set a long-term lifecycle carbon neutrality target for 2050 and a medium-term target for 2030, which now explicitly cover Scope 1, 2, and 3, including the company’s supply chain emissions.
• Provided additional details on battery circularity, including the adoption of “Easy-to-Dismantle Design” to improve large battery recycling, being one of the few companies to disclose concrete examples of using design to improve the battery recycling process.
• Still fails on some of the basics for human rights due diligence: not requiring suppliers to respect human rights or workers’ rights, or to undertake minimum due diligence regarding mineral sourcing; not implementing a supply chain grievance mechanism; and disclosing  practically nothing in relation to human rights risk assessment processes and identified human rights risks. Additionally, the company provides no statistical data or evidence to substantiate the few basic human rights commitments or processes the company says it has.  
• Has a supply chain mapping process in place, but reports no information emerging from this mapping. However, is one of the few automakers to provide minimal information about risks associated with conflict minerals, and to publish a partial list of smelters/refiners in the supply chain, including some information about RMI-conformance. 
• In contrast to progress on conflict minerals, does not provide concrete evidence of human rights and environmental due diligence on battery minerals. 
• Continues to score 0% on Indigenous Peoples’ rights, consolidating its position as one of the worst laggards in this area.  
• Made no progress on Workers’ Rights, even though the company has yet to take the most basic of steps, and discloses less information this year concerning risks to workers’ rights the company has identified in its supply chain.
