abstract = {Rare earth permanent magnets are important components for
modern (energy) technologies and are employed to reduce GHG
emissions and combat climate change. The process of
extracting these minerals from the ore has contentious
economic, environmental and social implications. While the
environmental impacts of their production have already been
analyzed in several studies, the economic and the social
perspective is still under-researched. The Social Life Cycle
Assessment (S-LCA) approach employed in the present research
explores whether there is a difference in social risks for
rare earth permanent magnet production from three different
rare earth ore production locations and the associated value
chains. While one is located completely in China, another is
composed of processes in Australia and Malaysia. The third
process chain combines processes in the United States and
Japan. The Product Social Impact Life Cycle Assessment
(PSILCA) 2.0 database is used to assess the social
implications. The analysis focuses on value chain actors, a
stakeholder group of great interest to businesses but often
underrepresented in S-LCA research. The impact categories
describing this stakeholder group pertain to issues of
social responsibility along the value chain, fair
competition and corruption. Overall, the US value chain
indicates the lowest level of social risk along the supply
chain. However, in order to gain a deeper understanding of
the social risks a sectoral and geographical analysis is
conducted. Across all three cases, the mineral, fossil fuel
and chemical sectors are shown to be problematic.},
