International Workshop Agreement on Sustainable Critical Minerals Supply Chains proposed by Standards Australia
Standards Australia hosted the first of three International Workshop Agreements 45 (IWA) in Tokyo on February 15 & 16, 2024, with fifty-nine participants in attendance.
The purpose of this ISO International Workshop Agreement (IWA) on Sustainable Critical Minerals Supply Chains is to detail environmental, social, and governance principles in existing sustainability frameworks, guides, and standards which have gained acceptance across various regions and jurisdictions. Thus, identifying the similarities and differences between these frameworks.
Using a multi-stakeholder engagement process to discuss and analyse these frameworks, guides, and standards, recommendations will be developed to support industry to uphold sustainability principles and inform future standards processes.
The second workshop to develop the International Workshop Agreement on sustainable critical minerals supply chains will be held in hybrid format from 16-17 April 2024. For further details, including the schedule and registration information, please refer to the following link.
