2023 Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains

Demystifying Due Diligence Assessments: Enhancing transparency in upstream mining

Apr 27, 2023 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Partner session - Auditorium

Description

Organised by: Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) and London Metals Exchange As part of risk assessments, companies seek to identify actors along the minerals supply chain. Countries implementing the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI, currently 57 member countries, some of them in conflict-affected and high-risk areas) publish a range of information on the upstream (mining and trade) that can inform on-the-ground assessments. This session’s objective is to explain what the EITI disclosure Standard requires to be public information, demonstrate how to access this information, and how to draw on national multi-stakeholder groups to highlight risks and request information.
