The role of commodity traders in supply chain due diligence

May 6, 2025 | 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Plenary CC1

Description

PLENARY ROOM CC1 International commodity traders play a pivotal role in mineral supply chains. As intermediaries, traders connect multiple actors across geographically dispersed parts of the chain, blending and handling minerals from diverse origins to meet client requirements for location, mineral grade, and timing. This can lead to due diligence challenges related to spot market purchases, reliance on short-term contracts, and the need to manage commercially sensitive information. This session will explore practical examples of these due diligence challenges and explore emerging and prospective solutions for responsible sourcing and enhanced transparency. Please note that this session will be livestreamed. Session available in ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH and CHINESE.
