Partner session - Room CC16
Description
Organised by: Friedrich Naumann Foundation and Responsible Trade LLC.
The session will present the findings and recommendations of the policy paper Conflict Minerals -Over a Decade of Efforts and Impacts that evaluated the efforts by stakeholders to fight the illicit trade in minerals from Africa over the past decade. The findings in the study lay bare the underlying dynamics and context that complicate the success of voluntary and mandatory regulatory interventions, such as the Responsible Minerals Initiative, OECD Due Diligence Guidance, upstream assurance mechanisms as well as US and EU Conflict Minerals regulations. The session will allow audience interaction with the authors and practitioners as attendees grapple with new emerging regulations such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, EU Battery Regulation and German Minerals Resources Due Diligence Act.
