"The 16 multinational companies covered in the report are Ahong, Apple, BYD, Daimler, Dell, HP, Huawei, Inventec, Lenovo, LG, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, Vodafone, Volkswagen and ZTE. Company responses are available in the report annex."
"The largest [purchaser of Congolese-sourced cobalt] is Huayou Cobalt’s Congolese subsidiary CDM.

"[The] 16 multinational consumer brands listed [are] direct or indirect customers of the three battery component manufacturers."
