Transparency from the ground up: emerging approaches for connecting mines to the supply chain for more credible due diligence

The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains sets out clear responsibilities for upstream and downstream companies to ease the flow of meaningful information on risks. While the past 10 years have seen audit systems, regulations and market requirements based on the Guidance rolled out, information flow is a systemic challenge. This session will examine different facets of this challenge, including trust and commercial sensitivity, due diligence scheme credibility and under-utilization of existing data sources. Actors from across the minerals supply chain will come together with civil society, governments and international organizations to explore emerging approaches to address these challenges. In particular, the session will highlight ways to enhance trusted channels including and beyond schemes for sharing due diligence data, how to do more with existing data like Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) reporting, and promote coherence in expectations for upstream companies to bring greater focus to risk mitigation.
