Lead the Charge Automaker Supply Chain Leaderboard - 2024 Edition

The aim of this leaderboard, now in its second edition, is to establish a new expectation – and competitive advantage – for what a clean car really is. Not just an EV, but an EV that is manufactured:
- Equitably – respecting and advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples, workers, and local communities throughout the supply chain.
- Sustainably – preserving and restoring environmental health and biodiversity across supply chains, whilst reducing primary resource demand through efficient resource use and increased recycled content.
- Fossil free – 100% electric and made with a fossil fuel-free supply chain.

The research and indicator development for the scorecard was led by Pensions & Investment Research Consultants (PIRC), Europe’s largest independent corporate governance and shareholder advisory firm, whose work was guided by members of the Lead the Charge coalition. Please refer to the accompanying methodology document for more information on the indicator development and research process.

This document contains the scores obtained by each automaker for each indicator of the scorecard, as well as explanations for why they were awarded these scores and information on the thresholds and benchmarks used for each indicator. These results will also be shown on the Lead the Charge website and in an accompanying written report.
