The SUMEX Sustainability Framework can provide extractive industry companies with a guide to what sustainability should mean. This can also be relevant for the due diligence of the whole mineral supply chain. 🌍

SUMEX has been working with its sister project RE-SOURCING Stakeholder Platform on how this links to the new OECD - OCDE Guidelines on Environmental Due Diligence in Mineral Supply Chains. 🌿

: One of the main takeaways from our session at the World Resources Forum was the importance of creating a level playing field throughout the entire raw materials value chain, also highlighted by Dumitru Fornea, European Economic and Social Committee / NTUC MERIDIAN Romania.

Our workshop underscored the importance of striking a balance between environmental protection goals and ensuring domestic access to and transformation of mineral raw materials in Europe. This equilibrium promotes fair competition across the entire value chain.
