Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited NEVS to respond. Response provided below:

Yes, we are very well aware of the questions and concern you talk about.  In Sweden, this is a topic that is very much in focus right now. Only this year, there has been many articles and news about conflict minerals and also other raw material that raises questions and concern. We at NEVS believe that this work is very important, especially when new products (based on partly new materials) are entering the market and you don´t really know about the sources. However, when it comes to NEVS and our production of cars, we haven´t had any production at all since 2014. We look forward to starting serial production again, but as it looks right now, it might take some years. Meanwhile, we will make sure we have very clear policies for us and  our suppliers to make sure we act according to all relevant rules and guidelines.
