The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), managed by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), provides tools and resources for companies to address responsible mineral sourcing in their supply chains. The RMI's Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) is the most widely adopted smelter/refiner audit programme for conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold - 3TG) and cobalt. Over 400 smelters and refiners assessed. RMAP uses independent third-party audits against the RMAP assessment standard. Supports compliance with Dodd-Frank Section 1502, EU Conflict Minerals Regulation (2017/821), and OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
