Description
ROOM CC13
Organised by Anglo American, SQM Lithium, Eramet & Harita
This session is led by a partner organisation and may not reflect the views of the OECD. Anglo American, SQM Lithium, Eramet, and Harita Nickel invite stakeholders for a discussion on responsible sourcing and supply chain integrity, directly from upstream actors, including mining and processing companies.
The session will open with the perspectives of a downstream customer, who will set the scene on why increased transparency is necessary in terms of due diligence and related regulations. A representative from civil society will close the session, noting how due diligence at the mine site has the potential to improve operations for those most impacted. The audience will be invited to participate in an extended Q&A period, allowing attendees to pose key questions to those working at the beginning of the supply chain.
Attendees will hear directly from mine-site personnel working in key mining regions, including Southeast Asia, West Africa, Central Africa, and Latin America. This session will explore how mine sites are using audits to better evaluate and mitigate environmental impacts, build trust with workers and communities, protect human rights, and address supply chain vulnerabilities.
Industry leaders will share insights on how aligning with global frameworks promotes transparency, helps them meet due diligence regulations, and leads to improvements at the mine.
Please note that this session will NOT be livestreamed.
Session available in ENGLISH and SPANISH only.
