Responsible Minerals Sourcing

Nissan’s goal is to conduct ethical, social and environmentally conscious business practices at every level of our global supply chain. In 2013, Nissan moved quickly to establish a policy against the use of conflict minerals and published it on its website. In July 2020, Nissan formulated and published its new Global Minerals Sourcing Policy Statement.

Based on this statement, Nissan references the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas to implement due diligence related to minerals sourcing in its supply chain. Since 2021, Nissan has joined the RMI and will work with its suppliers to assess risks and will strengthen its efforts to take corrective actions furthermore whenever issues are identified.
