The duty of care has entered a phase of <\/span>expansion, introducing new reporting requirements for companies worldwide. Securing the supply of <\/span>critical minerals<\/b>, which are essential for the global energy transition, has become central to both <\/span>economic and geopolitical concerns<\/b>. While the focus has historically been on the \u201c3TG\u201d minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold), the scope now extends to <\/span>other minerals whose extraction raises similar social, environmental, and ethical challenges.<\/span><\/p>

Markets are demanding <\/span>greater transparency<\/b> regarding these vital materials, especially in industries such as <\/span>electronics, automotive, aerospace, and defense. This trend is further amplified by persistent <\/span>risks of human rights violations and links to <\/span>armed conflicts in supply chains.<\/span><\/p>

In this context, the <\/span>Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)<\/b><\/a> has published a major update to its traceability standard: <\/span>EMRT 2.0<\/b><\/a>. This article analyzes the model in detail, explains its purpose, introduces the new integrated minerals, and explores the concrete implications for companies\u2019 reporting and strategy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To fully understand the significance of EMRT 2.0 (Extended Minerals Reporting Template), it is helpful to review its origins. As due diligence obligations expand beyond the 3TG minerals, the <\/span>extended mineral declaration model (EMRT)<\/b> has become a free, standardized reporting tool developed by the <\/span>Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)<\/b>. The RMI is a global organization that supports companies in <\/span>responsible sourcing of minerals and in <\/span>identifying risks throughout the supply chain.<\/span><\/p>

It is important to note that EMRT was initially created by the <\/span>Responsible Business Alliance (RBA)<\/b><\/a>, and the RMI is now an initiative under the RBA. The purpose of EMRT is to ensure the <\/span>exchange of information across the supply chain regarding:<\/span><\/p>
