Companies speak out in support of a mandatory EU responsible mineral sourcing scheme

The impacts of mineral trade on conflict and human rights are well-documented and human rights NGOs have called on the EU to introduce a strong mandatory due diligence scheme to tackle these links.

On 20 May, the European Parliament positioned itself in support of a mandatory due diligence scheme for downstream and upstream companies that sell tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold – in any form – in the EU.  Now the Council is debating a joint position in order to start informal negotiations with the Parliament and is expected to conclude its position by mid-December.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited companies to share statements of support for a mandatory scheme. To date the following companies have made such statements:

  1. Telenor
  2. Novo Nordisk

See below for full statements. To join these companies by issuing a statement, please contact horvath@business-humanrights.org
