What is the Extended Minerals Reporting Template?
The sourcing, production, and use of cobalt in products is in the spotlight due to its toxic nature and potential harm to workers and the environment.
The Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) is a free, standardized reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to identify pinch points and collect due diligence information in the cobalt and mica supply chains. This is a template that was formally launched on October 20, 2021. The RMI recommends using EMRT v. 1.2 or higher for the Reporting Year.
The tool is designed in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High Risk Areas.
The purpose of the template is to help with smelter and refinery identification as well as provide a mechanism for due diligence tracking.
