LIVE: @Onyube1 of @Afrewatch: “People are fighting for a fair price on the ground, I do not see how the #EUBatteryregulation will help that. At the end of the day it will be ASM miners on the ground, who will pay the costs but who will support workers on the ground?..."

Over the last 12 months, research has found nascent efforts to improve the #cobalt #mining sector to be at risk of creating “islands of responsibility” while failing to drive the ‘building back better’ agenda.

Responsible sourcing initiatives with limited focus on high performing ASM mine sites risk creating “islands of responsibility” to feed fast expanding supply chains while failing to catalyse structural improvements to achieve impact at scale #mining #responsibleminerals
