Promoting Coherence Between Standards on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains

This study aims at identifying and better understanding the theoretical linkages and operational complementarities between two initiatives in the mining sector: the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD DDG). The overall objective is to determine how the OECD and EITI can improve the impact and reach of both initiatives, in terms of supply chain management and reporting, as well as public communication and advocacy.
