Guinea is a priority area for action by the global auto industry over human-rights abuses in aluminium supply chains, according to a new report.
A report titled Aluminum: The Car Industry’s Blind Spot – Why Car Companies Should Address the Human Rights Impact of Aluminum Production was published today by Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Inclusive Development International (IDI).
In 2019, car manufacturers used nearly a fifth of all aluminium consumed worldwide. And by 2050, they are forecast to double their consumption, driven by the transition to electric vehicles.
