BECOME A PARTICIPANT OR PARTNER
Become a participant
Sites that participate in our Assurance Process are committed to responsible production practices. Production means more than just mining. For us, production refers to the handling and processing of metals at every point in their value chains.
To join as a participant, email info@coppermark.org. See the current list of participants here.
For information about our fees, see here.
Get assessed against the Joint Due Diligence Standard
Sites that need to demonstrate due diligence on mineral supply chains, e.g., to meet responsible sourcing requirements of the London Metals Exchange, may use the Joint Due Diligence Standard.
For an assessment against the Joint Due Diligence Standard, email info@coppermark.org. See the current list of sites assessed against the Joint Due Diligence Standard here.

They have expressed a preference for metals producers assured to have responsible practices, recognising the importance of the sustainable production and sourcing of the principle covered metals as part of the low carbon transition. Our current partners are publicly identified with their name and logo on our website here.
