🚀 The CRAFT Code 2.1 is here! 🚀 We are very excited to share with you the release of CRAFT Code version 2.1, a tool that is helping transform artisanal and small-scale mining, now fully aligned with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for mineral supply chains in conflict-affected and high-risk areas. This is a crucial step towards strengthening responsible sourcing and ensuring that artisanal miners have a fair stake in the global market, while adhering to social and environmental standards. The CRAFT Code 2.1 is now permanently recognized by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). We invite you to learn more about this tool and the opportunities it creates for artisanal mining in international markets. 🌍💡 🔗 Read the news: https://lnkd.in/ehMt2Y9w 🔗 Download the CRAFT Code: https://lnkd.in/e3a6Cbjw #ResponsibleMining #CRAFTCode #ResponsibleMinerals #MAPEDueDiligence EPRM RVO, Artisanal Gold Council, Responsible Business Alliance, RESOLVE, Carolyn Burns, Tegan Holmes, Mark Wallace, STEPHEN DESPOSITO, Marcin Piersiak, Dayron Yegrail M., planetGOLD, The Impact Facility, Pact
