CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - THE CRM PROJECT

Publicado: 16 Set 2024

Critical raw materials, such as copper, lithium, nickel, aluminum, and cobalt, are essential for renewable energy technologies, battery production, and electrification. As demand for these materials is expected to rise rapidly, leaders across these value chains have a responsibility to ensure the extraction and use of these materials are as environmentally and socially sustainable as possible. The reliable transfer of sustainability performance data along these supply chains will be an important mechanism to ensure accountability as demand grows.

The United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) Critical Raw Materials Traceability and Sustainability Project (CRM Project - link: https://lnkd.in/eUVHERSA) is working to create a standardized digital methodology for sharing key sustainability and human rights performance indicators along globally complex CRM supply chains. The purpose of this project is to inform the development of the draft United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP - link: https://lnkd.in/eitGrUm4), a digital standard which enables supply chain traceability and transparency at a global scale to advance a sustainable, secure, and fair global economy.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The CRM Project is moving into its pilot phase, in which participants can test and provide feedback on draft tools and methods for interoperable data exchange along CRM supply chains. If you are part of a mining company, an organization along the mining value chain, a related regulatory body, performance certifier, or a traceability software provider, and are interested in learning more or getting involved, register your interest in the pilot using this form and a team member will be in touch: CRM Project Pilot Expression of Interest Form: https://lnkd.in/ezC5Mi8G.
