EV makers need to be more transparent about their battery supply chains, according to an Amnesty International report that ranks companies based on their human rights policies.
Automakers aren’t doing enough to identify and prevent human rights abuses along supply chains for EV batteries, Amnesty International warns in a new report. The charity ranked 13 of the world’s largest EV manufacturers, giving each a score based on its human rights policies and practices. BYD, one of the leading companies in global EV sales, and Mitsubishi scored the worst. They scored just 11 and 13, respectively, out of 90 points possible.
That includes disclosing which mines, smelters, and refiners they source their battery materials from. “Otherwise, it’s very difficult to really know what is going on,” Tran says. Engaging communities affected by mining is another key issue. Most of the companies assessed lacked policies that align with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples , according to the report.
