Formalization of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining

Working in Kolwezi, DRC, this project supported Trafigura's mineral suppliers in the development and ongoing maintenance of a responsible sourcing program. Pact assisted suppliers in stakeholder consultation and awareness raising to facilitate the active and positive participation of miners, community members, community leaders, cooperatives, and local authorities in the process of establishing a responsible mineral sourcing practice. Pact also completed due diligence and risk assessments as needed and supported suppliers to establish a consultation mechanism for risk management and conflict resolution, as well as a reporting mechanism for human rights abuses.
