Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)

The Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) Gold Standard covers the implementation of due diligence management systems in line with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict‑Affected and High‑Risk Areas 5-step framework. The Standard specifically applies to gold ‘choke point’ suppliers (i.e. processors such as smelters and refiners).
