The Responsible Supply Chain Initiative (RSCI) standard supports the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) across global automotive supply chains. This session shares grounded, practical experiences from RSCI assessments, highlighting results and key challenges for both large companies and SMEs in meeting sustainability and due diligence requirements. We also explore how cooperation projects in relevant markets help reduce audit redundancies and strengthen supplier capacities. The objective is to identify enablers and barriers for broader industry adoption and to share best practices and support structures to scale responsible sourcing across the sector.
