ALEXANDRIA and CHELTENHAM, May 2, 2022 /CSRwire/ — The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and Copper Mark today announced the launch of a public consultation on the Risk Readiness Assessment (RRA) project and the criteria guide. The consultation is open to all interested stakeholders and will be open from May 2 to July 1, 2022.

The RRA is a set of responsible production criteria created by the RMI and used by mining, smelting, refining and manufacturing sites for a wide range of metals. It is also the foundation of the Copper Brand Criteria for Responsible Production, against which sites are independently assessed during the Copper Brand Assurance process. The Criteria Guide offers explanations to help companies implement and assess performance with RRA’s 32 industry standards in environmental, social and governance areas.

With the review, the RMI and the Copper Mark will work to further ensure recognition and acceptance of the RRA as a credible set of criteria for responsible mining production practices by key stakeholder groups, to meet conclusions of benchmarking exercises and to clarify implementation requirements. of the RRA.

Jennifer Peyser, Vice President of Responsible Sourcing at RMI, said:

“RRA has been essential in enabling risk monitoring in mineral supply chains. Together with Copper Mark, we see this review as a crucial step in our efforts to align the RRA criteria with rapidly evolving human rights and environmental due diligence expectations and provide our members and their suppliers with a future-proof risk assessment tool.

Michèle Brülhart, Executive Director of the Copper Mark, said:

“The RRA forms the basis of Copper Mark’s assurance framework. This review is essential to ensure that our participants’ commitment to responsible production practices continues to meet the expectations of consumers, customers and investors. Working together with the RMI, we look forward to further strengthening this important tool and supporting companies throughout the mineral supply chain in their responsible production and sourcing efforts.

The consultation will consist of a series of virtual and in-person workshops conducted jointly by RMI and Copper Mark (register here), where the main changes will be described and comments will be collected. In addition, an online feedback form (here) is available for stakeholders who cannot attend the workshops.

Following the public consultation, all comments will be recorded and processed by the RMI and Copper Mark before a second, shorter public consultation.

It is expected that the revised RRA Criteria and Criteria Guide will be published in 2023.
