About the data

In 2020, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) launched a project to develop a methodology to evaluate the extent to which companies embrace the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including how they align with its core elements, the 5-Step framework and the Annex II Model Policy. This metric belongs to that methodology.

However, upon further review the assessment's focus was narrowed down to a set of core metrics which this metric is not part of. The narrowed down assessment can be found here: https://wikirate.org/OECD_Minerals_Guidance_Research

The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance) was developed to provide recommendations to help companies respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral purchasing decisions and practices. The OECD Guidance is for use by any company potentially sourcing minerals or metals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

Companies that publish their minerals supply chain will typically do so on their websites, or if they have published a Conflict Minerals Report [see EDGAR SEC filings here], Smelters and Refiners are often listed there.Companies should not just say they have mapped their supply chain, but you should be able to find the names of suppliers in a list orl map.
Any additional details such as level of mapping (how many and which supplier types), can be added to the Comments field.
