Every Responsible Minerals Initiative Standard is OECD-aligned ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9, 2026 – The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), today announced its Global Responsible Sourcing Due Diligence Standard for Mineral Supply Chains – All Minerals (All Minerals Standard) has achieved full recognition under the London Metal Exchange (LME) Responsible Sourcing Framework, fully meeting LME Track A requirements for both the standard and its implementation. The LME is the world’s largest industrial metal exchange. The majority of all non-ferrous metals futures business is transacted on the LME platform. Last year, 191 million lots were traded, equating to $21 trillion and 4 billion tonnes notional, with a market open interest high of 2.1 million lots. This full recognition by LME marks an important milestone for the RMI, with all RMI standards now independently assessed as fully OECD-aligned and achieving regulatory recognition under the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation or market recognition by the LME. The RMI’s recognized standards support due diligence and market access for producers, traders, and end users across 10 LME-traded non-ferrous and EV metals, including tin, nickel, and cobalt. A majority of LME Track A deliverable tin and cobalt producers currently use RMI assessments to meet LME responsible sourcing disclosure requirements. This LME full recognition of the RMI’s All Minerals Standard builds on existing regulatory recognition of the RMI’s standards. The RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) Tin and Tantalum Standard, RMAP Tungsten Standard, and RMAP Gold Standard are recognized as equivalent under the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/821), reflecting regulatory recognition of their alignment with OECD due diligence requirements for 3TG minerals. In parallel, the London Metal Exchange’s Track A full recognition of the RMI’s Tin and Tantalum Standard and the All Min
