Description
Organised by : The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
Mineral and metal supply chains are complex, and it can be hard for downstream customers to know whether a metal they are buying has been sourced and produced responsibly. Simple assertions of legal compliance by producers of metals and minerals are insufficient to provide confidence to downstream customers that the range of issues they may be concerned with are being responsibly managed. Standard-setting organisations have been working with companies and stakeholders for some years on implementing responsible business practices and due diligence. This session will explore the role of voluntary standard-setting organisations and due diligence schemes, and how these can help regulations deliver impact.
