EU OEMs (VW, Stellantis, BMW) sourcing Indonesian nickel for battery cathodes must comply with CSDDD human-rights evidence requirements. Current audits are scheduled and announced — workers don't speak freely.

Elevate Impact, SGS, BV, TÜV, Sedex — established auditors. RepRisk, Altana, Sayari — funded tech plays. Altana is well-funded.
