Societe pour le Traitment du Terril de Lubumbashi (STL) complies with RMI responsible sourcing principles.
The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) has confirmed that the cobalt, copper and zinc produced by STL is conformant with its responsible sourcing requirements.
STL obtained its first RMI accreditation in 2021, and has since remained on their conformant list by undergoing yearly independent re-assessments, as part of RMI’s flagship programme, the Responsible Mineral Assurance Process (RMAP).
Remaining RMI conformant is a priority for STL as it demonstrates a commitment to responsible and ethical mineral sourcing, ensuring that supply chains are transparent and free from conflict or human rights abuses
