OECD Handbook on Environmental Due Diligence in Mineral Supply Chains
About this tool
The OECD Handbook on Environmental Due Diligence in Mineral Supply Chains equips companies with clear, actionable guidance to integrate environmental considerations into their mineral supply chain due diligence, spanning extraction through transformation. Rooted in OECD responsible business conduct standards, the Handbook contextualizes the six‑step due diligence framework, helping both upstream actors (like miners, traders, refiners) and downstream firms (manufacturers, retailers) identify, assess, prevent, and address environmental risks such as pollution, biodiversity loss, water depletion, and irreversible damage. It underscores the link between environmental harm and human rights, guiding enterprises to prioritize the most severe risks, leverage their positional influence in the supply chain, and contribute to a just, sustainable transition
