Metals are essential for the production of many goods and technologies and are crucial for the low-carbon transition. The implementation of the Agreement will be devoted towards:

• providing companies with the necessary knowledge, instruments and other resource tools to be able to understand and/or address potential risks in their supply chains (from extraction to recycling),
• identifying and addressing potential risks linked to the secondary materials (metal scrap) supply chains, and
• encouraging relevant actors in the metals supply chains (at the national and international level) to adopt and implement the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights.

We call on all our suppliers, stakeholders and others involved to support and join our effort in working towards responsible metals supply chains.
