Africa Responsible Mineral Sourcing Initiative (ARMSI)
The Africa Minerals Strategy Group in partnership with Oheneba Poku Foundation is implementing the Africa Responsible Mineral Sourcing Initiative (ARMSI) which aims to promote, facilitate, develop and implement Responsible Sourcing in AMSG Member States starting with the 16 AMSG Founding Member Nations.
Responsible Sourcing is the practice of procuring minerals in a way that respects human rights, protects human and environmental health and combats forced labour, child labour, human trafficking and slavery along the supply chain. The Minerals and Metals Supply Chain consists of many tiers, including mines, traders, smelters, refiners, alloy producers and component manufacturers, contract manufacturers and end-user company.
AMSG is championing transparent supply chains and will therefore through the Africa Responsible Mineral Sourcing Initiative.
AMSG will engage interested nations like the United Arab Emirates and strategic partners like OECD to collaborate and coordinate on Responsible Mineral Sourcing in AMSG Member States.
The Africa Responsible Mineral Sourcing Initiative (ARMSI) KYC form serves as a vital tool for gathering key information from organizations aspiring to join our network. This process upholds transparency, fosters accountability, and reinforces ARMSI’s commitment to advancing responsible sourcing and ethical practices within the mineral sector.
