Description
This paper argues that the due diligence that companies using minerals or metals originating from eastern DRC needs to undertake consists of; a conflict minerals policy, supply chain risk assessments, including on the ground checks on suppliers, remedial action to deal with any problems identified,
independent third party audits of their due diligence measures, public reporting.The report outlines each of these elements and makes suggestions on how companies can put them into practice.
By putting these measures in place, companies can help to create a mining sector in eastern DRC that brings real benefit to the people who live there.
