Assessing company reporting on mineral supply chain due diligence

The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “Minerals Guidance”) was developed to provide recommendations to help companies respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral purchasing decisions and practices. In 2020, WikiRate led a benchmarking study of company implementation of the Minerals Guidance across producers, traders and minerals or metals sourcers. Data, findings, methodology and relationships mapped between upstream and downstream companies, are archived on the WikiRate platform as a living resource for stakeholders, researchers and the public-at-large.
