Description
ROOM CC13
Organised by the Responsible Minerals Intitiative (RMI)
This session is led by a partner organisation and may not reflect the views of the OECD.The landscape of responsible minerals standards is becoming increasingly complex, with various initiatives addressing different aspects of human rights, environmental, and governance due diligence for different minerals, with unique requirements, at many stages of the supply chain. Systems interoperability is fundamental to achieve effective, inclusive, end-to-end supply chain due diligence.
This session will bring together representatives from standards bodies, supply chain actors, and civil society representatives to elaborate the case for interoperability as a bridge for upstream-to-downstream due diligence. Participants are invited to share examples of why supply chain actors need systems coordination to support their own company due diligence; ways systems can collaborate via benchmarking, recognition, data-sharing, reporting, and other modes; how interoperability can support market access for artisanal producers; and practical solutions for system-to-system interoperability to improve due diligence information exchange and action. This will be an interactive session.
Please note that this session will NOT be livestreamed.
Session available in ENGLISH, FRENCH and CHINESE only.
