Minerals
Compliance and due diligence
Every transaction we conduct is screened, documented and traceable, on both the Zambian and DRC sides of the border.
OECD due diligence
We apply the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas as the framework for our own due diligence.
The OECD Guidance sets out a five-step framework: establish strong company management systems, identify and assess risk in the supply chain, design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks, carry out an independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence, and report annually on supply chain due diligence. We align our internal procedures for every copper, cobalt and lithium transaction to this framework.
Responsible sourcing
We work only with counterparties and authorised trading representative arrangements that can demonstrate a lawful chain of custody from the mine or a licensed DRC mining entity through to load out. Material without verifiable origin documentation is declined.
Sanctions and AML screening
Both sides of every transaction, buyer and seller, are screened against applicable sanctions lists and subject to anti-money laundering checks before a contract is signed. Screening is repeated where a transaction is renewed or extended.
Export permit handling
We manage the DRC and Zambian export permit process for each shipment in coordination with the licensed mining entity and the relevant customs and mining authorities, so that documentation is in order before material moves along the Lobito Corridor or the Copperbelt route.
Cobalt origin declaration
For cobalt specifically, we require and provide an origin declaration confirming that no artisanal child labour is present anywhere in the supply chain of the material offered.
