RE-SOURCING Conference

Responsible Sourcing is certainly gaining traction both on political and business levels through an increasing number of standards and initiatives, legislations, uptake and innovation of good practices, as well as higher awareness on its importance. At the same time, the effectiveness of these efforts remains under scrutiny by many because evident impact on a larger scale has yet to come. Assuming that a systemic challenge such as the realization of responsible sourcing along and across Global Value Chains (GVCs) does not allow any single actor to independently achieve desired impact, what is missing and how to best move forward instead of waiting for everyone else?

In the final year of the RE-SOURCING project, the conference will present and leverage its key results for setting a future work agenda on responsible sourcing in mineral value chains. The conference will adopt a systemic lens: In interactive sessions participants will work together towards a common understanding of root causes and hot spots inhibiting needed systemic change. Participants will also have the chance to learn more about responsible sourcing in the three focus sectors of renewable energy, mobility and electronics.
