Car makers consume large amounts of raw materials, and a conscientious planning of the manufacturing process is essential to the careful management of these resources. Among the most used materials in cars are lightweight elements such as aluminum, polymers, and to a lesser extent other metals (copper, titanium, platinum group, silicon, zinc, magnesium) elastomers, fluids, lithium, light rare earth elements.

IROs in relation to resources use and circular economy matters have been identified during the double materiality assessment considering our products and production process. We have not carried out dedicated consultations with affected communities on this topic, but we have an ongoing dialogue with our suppliers to find recycled material solutions to reduce our emissions.
