Responsible mining initiative formed

Stewart Investors, an active, long-only equity specialist focused on sustainable investing since 2005, has become the founding member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative Investor Network.

The RMI Investor Network brings together a range of investment industry stakeholders to advance responsible sourcing and the renewable energy transition.

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) has launched the RMI Investor Network to promote responsible mining and mineral sourcing worldwide by giving investors access to world-class due diligence tools and collaborative opportunities. This engagement is crucial to achieving a just renewable energy transition, advancing the RMI’s mission to enable companies to source all minerals responsibly including from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

“We believe that investors have a role to play in ensuring that global mineral supply chains are free of human rights abuses,” said Chris McGoldrick, senior investment analyst at Stewart Investors.
