What OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals 2016 - Five-Step Framework for Conflict-Free Mineral Sourcing from High-Risk Areas requires

The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (3rd edition, 2016) provides a non-binding but internationally recognised five-step framework for companies to identify and mitigate risks in mineral supply chains including conflict financing, human rights abuses, child labour, and bribery. The Guidance is expressly referenced by the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation 2017/821 and the EU Batteries Regulation 2023/1542 as the applicable due diligence framework. Supplements cover tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) and other minerals. The framework applies along the entire supply chain from mining through end-use manufacturing.
