Sustainable Aluminium Sourcing in the Automotive Value Chain

European SDG Roundtable organized in the framework of the European SDG Summit 2021.
Raw materials are essential for the production cycle. An average vehicle contains around 30,000 individual components. They are sourced from thousands of small and large suppliers located all over the globe. Human rights violations and environmental issues can appear throughout the supply chain and beyond Tier 1, up to the level of the extraction of raw materials or recycler. This makes the automotive supply chain one of the most complex and interconnected in the world, but it also generates concerns on how to secure reliable access to critical raw materials. The recent shortages in the materials needed for the production of electric vehicles batteries highlighted once more the necessity to ensure a sustainable supply chain.
The Drive Sustainability Raw Materials Outlook is a new platform dedicated to identifying the human rights and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks and the impacts of materials used in the automotive value chain. The platform provides Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with valuable insights for the improvement of their risk and impact management strategies and processes, but it acts as an enabler for multi-stakeholder collaborations.
