Human rights risks in mining: evidence, engagement and responsible public procurement

Affiliate-only webinar

14th October 2026, 10:00 CEST | 9:00 BST | 19:00 AEST

Conducting human rights due diligence becomes more challenging the further upstream you go in the supply chain. Understanding the risks in mineral extraction can be especially difficult as mines and smelters are often located away from settlements and industrial areas and can be fenced, monitored, and protected, making independent oversight difficult.

In this webinar, experts from The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), Source International and our monitoring partner Inkrispena will share their three complementary methodologies for monitoring upstream risks. The session will explore meaningful stakeholder engagement and how to use different sources of evidence – including scientific evidence, worker-driven monitoring, and third-party assessments – that can give public buyers greater visibility into upstream risks and strengthen responsible procurement.

Join us at 10:00 CEST | 09:00 BST | 19:00 AEST on October 14 to learn how combining these different approaches provides a stronger basis for human rights due diligence in your mineral supply chains.
