Description:

In this episode, I converse with Vuyisile Ncube from Earthworks and Glenn Hurowitz from Mighty Earth, focusing on environmental advocacy related to mineral and energy development. We explore the "Lead the Charge" initiative, which assesses automakers on their sustainability and human rights commitments through a comprehensive leaderboard. Notably, Tesla ranks highest at 43%, with Ford and Mercedes following. We delve into the significance of supply chain practices, particularly concerning Indigenous rights and the environmental impacts of industries like steel and aluminum. Our discussion also emphasizes the need for transparency and ethical sourcing in the auto industry, highlighting the potential for collaboration among advocacy groups, automakers, and consumers to foster a sustainable future.
