Webinar: From Should-Have to Must-Have: How Due Diligence Regulation is Changing Standards Adoption
RCS Global Group’s consult unit held a successful webinar in March 2022 on “From Should-Have to Must-Have: How Due Diligence Regulation is Changing Standards Adoption”. It was a great pleasure to be able to gather industry leaders representing various perspectives from the regulatory to the practical point of view and we would like to thank our speakers from the European Commission, HSBC, The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance – IRMA, and Volkswagen Group for their insights and great discussion.
There are currently around a dozen mandatory supply chain due diligence regulations directly or indirectly impacting companies globally. How can companies in the minerals supply chain make sense of this complex landscape of responsible sourcing and mining requirements, understand which standards would enable compliance and respond most effectively?
In this first webinar, hosted by RCS Global Group’s Consult department, you get a chance to hear from industry practitioners, regulators and investors about the latest developments and practical impacts of growing due diligence regulation. Speakers include the European Commission, HSBC, The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance – IRMA, and Volkswagen Group.
The session examines the convergence of responsible mineral sourcing and mining standards that underpin due diligence regulation and how companies can use them to achieve compliance. The webinar also explores how due diligence regulation is impacting responsible sourcing and mining standards themselves and investment decisions.
The webinar was held on 29 March, at 10.00-11.00 am CET (Registration is no longer possible)
