This session aims to take stock on the achievements and challenges of ASM gold certification in relation to Due Diligence, and at the interface of civil society-industry-academic research. It will start with a presentation of the state of academic knowledge and debates on the issue at hand, followed by commentaries from civil society and industry organisations. A wider discussion with the audience aims to address challenges faced in implementing due diligence in the ASGM sector, and to building solutions such as recognition, collaboration and interoperability between gold industry schemes and upstream initiatives.
