Material Change

Who’s behind it? – Drive Sustainability, the Responsible Minerals Initiative and The Dragonfly Initiative (2018)

How can it help? – The Material Change Report is a study of risks and opportunities for collective action in the materials supply chains of the automotive and electronics industries. The study presents a broad assessment of 37 materials used within automotive and electronics supply chains. The study aims to enable industry-wide comparisons of the materials’ and main producer countries’ environmental, social and governance issues and their importance in the manufacturing of automotive and electronic products. Material Change aims to be a starting point from which to stimulate an exchange of information about where collective actions by industry groups or trade associations might best be focussed to maximise positive social, environmental and governance impacts.
