RMI Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Standard for Mineral Supply Chains

Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) is a membership organisation that encourages the responsible sourcing of minerals globally. The RMI's Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Standard provides a set of criteria for facility level assessment, applicable to mineral processors, smelters and refiners, including those integrated with mine sites. It significantly extends the RMI’s scope, as the organisation had previously been focused on adherence to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. The RMI’s ESG Standard includes environmental criteria, occupational health and safety provisions, social obligations and governance requirements.
