About DiliCHANCE
DiliCHANCE is an international project funded by the European Commission. It was launched in October 2024 and runs for three years. It brings together highly experienced partners from business, science and civil society. Our mission is to support companies in mineral supply chains and turn due diligence into a success story.
From Challenges to Opportunities
While the demand for minerals is increasing, companies face major challenges in managing their global supply chains due to disruptions, intransparent data, and numerous regulations and standards. Many companies perceive due diligence as an administrative burden, but some go beyond these obligations and successfully leverage it for strategic advantage. DiliCHANCE supports both beginners and experts in effectively integrating due diligence into their business practices and driving positive change.
