RE:Do Car Companies Know Where Their CM's Come From?The implications of not knowing today ... where the consumer is going to know or going to find out ...
The summary of the blog describes the importance of critical minerals in the automotive industry.
Critical minerals are used in the production of various car components, such as batteries, electronics, and catalytic converters.
However, car companies may not have a clear understanding of the supply chain for these minerals and their environmental and social impacts.
Lack of transparency and traceability in the supply chain can lead to unethical practices and human rights abuses.
Car companies need to take responsibility for ensuring the ethical sourcing and responsible management of critical minerals in their supply chain.
This will require collaboration with suppliers, governments, and other stakeholders to establish standards and ensure compliance with environmental and social regulations.
Ultimately the need for increased investment in recycling and circular economy approaches to reduce reliance on virgin materials and mitigate the environmental impacts of mining.
