Developing countries, including the Philippines and the Democratic Republic of Congo, play a critical role in supplying nickel, copper, and many other essential minerals for the world’s energy transition. Unfortunately, as we will show in this webinar, mining projects often cause the side effects of deforestation, environmental damage, and forced relocation of local communities.

What warning signs and red flags should investors look for to avoid the business, regulatory, reputational, and other risks that may result from the unsustainable practices of their investee mining companies?

For over a decade, the Amnesty International Business and Human Rights Team has conducted on-the-ground investigations into transition minerals, including numerous interviews with affected communities, local and national governments, and relevant companies to illustrate these impacts. The resulting reports serve as a valuable resource for investors and policymakers, offering insights that extend well beyond the available ESG data reporting and other news sources. They provide useful information for engaging with company management and conducting due diligence, as well as insights that can help reduce risks in portfolios aiming to capitalize on the growth of transition minerals markets.
