What a responsible sourcing programme involves
A responsible sourcing programme is a system – ongoing supplier engagement, a code of conduct that sets clear expectations, alignment with recognised certification schemes, and continuous monitoring once the programme is live. TDi Sustainability designs these programmes to fit the realities of the supply chain they’re built for, rather than applying a generic template regardless of commodity or geography.

Sector applications
We’ve built responsible sourcing strategies across critical raw material supply chains, for clients ranging from Fortune 100 OEMs to early-stage junior mining companies. For artisanal and small-scale mining specifically see our ASM hub.
A programme is only as credible as the standard behind it
Responsible sourcing claims need a recognised benchmark to mean anything to a buyer, investor or regulator. See our Audits and Standards hub for the full list of standards TDi is approved to audit against and has helped develop.
