"Tesla, Ford, and Volvo occupy the top three spots in a new ranking of 18 global automakers based on their efforts to eliminate carbon emissions, environmental harms, and human rights violations from their supply chains. Toyota, meanwhile, lurks near the bottom of the list, underscoring the persistent difficulty in getting the world's largest car company to clean up its supply chain."
"The rankings were compiled by Lead the Charge, a global coalition of leading climate, environment, and human rights organizations that includes the Sierra Club, The Sunrise Project, and Public Citizen, among others. This is the fourth edition of the coalition's annual ranking of automakers' supply chain practices."
"Since the leaderboard started, automakers have nearly doubled their score on supply chain environmental and human rights impacts, and twice as many automakers now have taken steps to respect indigenous peoples' rights as when the study started. That said, no automaker has achieved even a 50 percent score on clean supply chains, with Tesla getting the closest with 49 percent."
Lead the Charge, a coalition of climate, environment, and human rights organizations, released the fourth annual ranking of 18 global automakers based on supply chain practices. Tesla, Ford, and Volvo occupy the top three positions, while Toyota ranks near the bottom despite being the world's largest car company. Since the ranking began, automakers have nearly doubled their supply chain environmental and human rights impact scores, and twice as many now respect indigenous peoples' rights. However, no automaker has achieved even 50 percent compliance on clean supply chains, with Tesla reaching the closest at 49 percent. Five automakers—Ford, Volvo, Tesla, Mercedes, and Volkswagen—significantly outpace the rest.
