Where does Volkswagen get its materials?

I’m always intrigued by how companies make their products, and the automotive industry is particularly interesting. I’m also in the market for a new car, and I’m considering a Volkswagen. So where does VW get its raw materials?

In the recent past, Volkswagen has come under fire for failing to divulge the source of its raw materials. But finally, in 2021, Volkswagen released its first responsible raw materials report. This report outlined how VW is determined to source its materials responsibly, as well as where these materials come from. Volkswagen currently gets its materials from the following countries:
  • Brazil
  • Cameroon
  • China
  • Ecuador
  • Ghana
  • Guatemala
  • Guinea
  • India
  • Indonesia
  • Ivory Coast
  • Liberia
  • Malaysia
  • Mexico
  • Myanmar
  • Nigeria
  • Thailand
  • Vietnam
