“I am very proud of the results of this evaluation,” said Mickaël Daudin, ITSCI Program Manager. “ITSCI operates in the face of multiple challenges related to security, infrastructure and complex local environments at CAHRA, as well as limited funding. However, these results demonstrate that we continue to make significant progress and that facilitating effective due diligence on CAHRA minerals promotes responsible sourcing practices and leads to long-term and lasting positive change at scale.” she added.

ITSCI’s vision is that effective CAHRA minerals due diligence will support companies, promote best practices, improve governance and, over time, contribute to the formalization of the mining sector. In addition, to further strengthen the credibility of its program, ITSCI maintains its commitment to independent AAs at least every five years by a credible and qualified external assessor.
