Overview
This handbook aims to help companies embed environmental considerations into their mineral supply chain due diligence procedures.
This Handbook provides an introduction to environmental issues in the upstream segment of mineral supply chains. It is intended to help downstream enterprises (metal traders and exchanges, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers and retailers) understand how they can embed environmental considerations into their supply chain due diligence processes, while also helping upstream enterprises (miners, local traders and exporters, international concentrate traders, smelters and refiners, and recyclers) meet the due diligence expectations of their customers and other downstream business relationships.
This project provides publicly available information.
