As Europe plans its way towards a lower-carbon future, there is an awareness that the journey is as important as the end goal; to responsibly source the minerals it will need for the energy transition, the European Union is working on understanding the impacts of this process across the mining value chain.
SRK Consulting is participating in an important initiative on this front - the RE- SOURCING project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. RE-SOURCING has been working to build a global stakeholder platform for responsible sourcing.
An aspect of this project is to help define standards of responsible sourcing for European Union countries. Importantly, this process is designed to include the input of stakeholders in regions where the minerals are currently being sourced and most likely to be sourced in the future.
