Supply Chain Due Diligence

Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition

The Energy Transition and Supply Chain Due Diligence

The supply chain due diligence has become a focal point for policymakers and industry leaders striving to balance resource extraction with environmental stewardship.

European Legislation

Europe remains at the forefront of regulating critical mineral supply chains, with policies designed to enhance sustainability, transparency, and resource independence. The EU Critical Raw Materials Act, recently enacted, sets benchmarks for domestic extraction, processing, and recycling, aiming to reduce dependence on non-EU sources by 2030. ESG-driven supply chain laws continue to tighten, compelling companies to meet strict environmental and ethical sourcing standards.

N. American Legislation

The US and Canada are strengthening domestic critical mineral strategies to reduce reliance on foreign sources. Discover how legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act and Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy are shaping supply chains.
