Not every mining standard is created equal, and automakers need to be aware of the strengths and shortcomings of various standards in order to continue to make progress on responsible sourcing, avoid due diligence fines, and protect themselves from risk. Check out this analysis from @StandMighty and @RainforestNORW of the limitations of three existing mining standards @IRMA, @CopperMark /RMI and @tsminitiative. They took a look at how these three different standards work to avoid deforestation and minimize impacts of mining on critical ecosystems like rainforests.
