The decision follows scrutiny over mining practices in the area, which have raised alarms about deforestation and ecological damage. The automaker joins a growing list of companies distancing themselves from controversial supply chains amid pressure to adopt sustainable sourcing. Industry observers will watch whether this move signals broader shifts in how automakers balance cost, ethics, and supply chain transparency.
