Reporting on Extended Minerals in Your Supply Chain

Published by on

Efficiently Conduct Cobalt and Mica Due Diligence for ESG-Focused Companies with the Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT)

Introduction

Cobalt and mica, otherwise called extended minerals, are used to manufacture many products, including electronics, automotive parts, and cosmetics. Unfortunately, cobalt and mica are abundant in high-risk, conflict-affected areas, which means they are associated with armed conflict and human rights abuses.

Despite the high demand for these minerals in global supply chains, there are no regulations enforcing responsible sourcing practices for extended minerals. However, many ESG-focused companies have implemented their own responsible sourcing policies for their suppliers and voluntarily report on extended minerals in their supply chains with various tools
and technology.
