Criminality in the extractives sector poses a major barrier to advancing due diligence for responsible mineral sourcing. The challenge is further complicated, and impacts even greater, when extraction takes place in places experiencing high-levels of conflict and insecurity. This partner session will present deep dives into the dynamics between extractives, crime and insecurity followed by a discussion on similarities and differences in criminal threats, conflict and security dynamics, and implications for due diligence and responsible sourcing efforts.
