Activists from Indonesian and Taiwanese NGOs are calling for better corporate responsibility at Taiwanese nickel-mining facilities in Indonesia. Nickel, a raw material used in electric vehicle batteries and stainless steel, is largely sourced from Indonesia. But popularization of the green energy transition comes at the cost of local communities and workers, who face severe health consequences from nickel mining. They say that Taiwanese companies are involved, and are calling on the government to step in.
