Responsible Sourcing
Supply Chain Strategy
As a business with worldwide operations, Nissan has a supply chain that extends across the globe. We promote consistency in purchasing activities throughout the global supply chain, sharing our vision and policy with our business partners and strategically collaborating with them to ensure their adoption.
We aim to achieve sustainable growth built on a foundation of mutual trust with our business partners. We listen closely to and work with our suppliers as equal partners, developing and maintaining cooperative and competitive relations that enable us to implement best practices.
Responsible Materials 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.
In 2025, in addition to all minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas including tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold, the scope was expanded to include minerals necessary for the manufacture of the batteries, natural rubber, and other raw materials with social and environmental impacts of concern, and the Responsible Materials Sourcing Policy was published.
Nissan conducts due diligence in accordance with the Nissan Sustainability Due Diligence Standard on impacts on sustainability aspects such as the environment and human rights in the natural resources contained in the materials and components used in the manufacture of products and monitors our own supply chain. If there are any concerns, Nissan will prevent and mitigate risks in accordance with the Nissan Supplier Sustainability Guidelines and take measures to improve them.
