Progressive Improvement in Due Diligence: Moving from Self-Assessment to Independent Third-Party Assurance in the Cobalt Supply Chain
The Cobalt Institute (CI) and the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) organized a webinar – initially meant to be an in-person side event during the OECD Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains – on 23 June 2020.
Stay up to date with everything that’s happening with CIRAF and the responsible sourcing of cobalt.
The Voice of the Cobalt Industry
Cobalt is an essential element for many applications that are important to today’s society. As such, cobalt contributes greatly to the general quality of life for humans and to guaranteeing a sustainable future.
Driving this future is the Cobalt Institute (CI).
As the voice of the cobalt industry, the CI is dedicated to promoting the sustainable and responsible production and use of cobalt in all its forms. For the last 60 years, the organisation has helped cobalt producers and users answer the sustainability concerns of their customers. It also acts as a knowledge center on all cobalt-related topics for governments, agencies, industry, academia, the media and civil society.
The Cobalt Institute is a member-based not-for-profit organization, with membership open to every stage of the cobalt supply chain – including producers, users, recyclers and traders. It currently represents around 70% of cobalt produced worldwide.
