WEBINAR | Responsible sourcing of sand and silicates
Sand and other silicate materials are the world’s most mined solid raw materials. They are fundamental for everything from construction and transport infrastructure to industrial manufacturing and energy production, but their importance, and the environmental, social and governance issues associated with their abstraction, are critically overlooked.
Panellists




Key Topics:
In this webinar, hosted in partnership with the Global Centre for Mineral Security, we explored the issues associated with the excavation of sand and the supply chains affected, and provided an update on the outcomes from the closed-door partner session on advancing responsible business conduct in sand and silicate supply chains held at the recent OECD Forum – including subsequent follow up meetings, the next steps that are being taken to develop due diligence processes and frameworks, and how you can get involved.
The speakers discussed what industries reliant on sand and silicate materials should and can be doing now to engage in the due diligence process and reduce their risk exposure, and impact on the environments and communities from which their raw materials are being sourced.
