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.

The specific requirements of our suppliers are stated in our “supplier code of conduct”, including responsible business practices. The supplier shall comply with all legal requirements that apply to its product and business operations, including those of antitrust and competition law, corruption prevention, money laundering prevention, export control, and data protection. Please find our current “supplier code of conduct” here: https://www.bmwgroup.com/content/dam/grpw/websites/bmwgroup_com/responsibility/downloads/en/2022/BMW-Group-Supplier-Code-of-Conduct-V.3.0_englisch_20221206.pdf

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 action.

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).
