BMW's response

21 April 2023

  • The BMW Group does not have any direct supply relationships or cooperations with nickel suppliers in Indonesia. Our suppliers source the raw material independently. In accordance with our purchasing conditions, as direct suppliers they are obligated to comply with legal requirements and extensive environmental and social standards and must also pass these on to their sub-suppliers. Further information on this can be found here https://www.bmwgroup.com/en/nachhaltigkeit/menschenrechte.html.
  • As part of our due diligence for our supply chain, the BMW Group continuously monitors compliance with requirements through procedures such as risk filters, media analyses and with supply chain mapping, among others.
  • If there are indications of possible violations in the supply chain, we clarify them and take immediate and consistent action - up to and including termination of the business relationship.
  • In addition, we have been active members for years in initiatives that develop standards for responsible raw material extraction and processing (smelting or refining), thus promoting compliance with environmental and social standards in raw material mining and processing facilities (e.g. IRMA and RMI).
  • Furthermore, we have created a closed-loop material cycle for reuse of the raw materials nickel, lithium and cobalt from high-voltage batteries at Chinese locations and set high standards for secondary raw material content, which is both resource-efficient and reduces CO2, compared to primary extraction.
