Platform to enhance transparency in mineral supply chains

DG TRADE launches ReMIS (Responsible Mineral Information System) aimed at boosting transparency.

ReMIS is part of the EU policy on the responsible sourcing of minerals, including the EU's Conflict Minerals Regulation.

It reportedly allows economic operators to register and share their due diligence policies and initiatives to aid responsible sourcing of metals and minerals.

It is claimed that it will enable them to share best practices with the broader public and showcase efforts to increase transparency in supply chains.  

Participation in ReMIS is voluntary and has no impact on any legal obligations that economic operators may have under EU due diligence legislation, including the Conflict Minerals Regulation.  

The platform is open to all economic operators involved in the mineral supply and value chains.

Entries on ReMIS can cover a wide range of minerals and metals.
