风险准备评估的修订

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and the Copper Mark are revising the Risk Readiness Assessment (RRA) Criteria and corresponding Criteria Guide in 2021-2023.

超过320个采矿、冶炼、精炼和制造场所使用RRA，涉及多种金属，包括铝、氧化铝、铝土矿、钴、铜、金、石墨、铁矿石、铅、锂、云母、钼、镍、钯、铂、稀土元素、银、钢铁、钽、锡、钨和锌。

RRA既是一套负责任生产的标准，也是企业沟通其环境、社会和治理实践的工具。它的主要用途是

1. As voluntary self-assessment and self-reporting tool for minerals and metals producers and processors participating in the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.
2. As the foundation of the RMI’s Environmental, Social, and Governance Standard for Mineral Supply Chains; and
3. As the foundation of the Copper Mark Criteria for Responsible Production against which sites are independently assessed during the Copper Mark Assurance Process.

The methodology of the RRA is available on the RMI website here.

目标

上一次对RRA标准的修订是在2019年完成的。在这次第二次修订中，RMI和铜标将共同致力于实现以下主要目标。

1. 确保关键利益相关者群体，即矿产生产商、精炼商、冶炼商或其他金属成品生产商、供应链公司、投资者和积极参与解决矿产生产的社会和环境影响的民间社会组织，承认并接受RRA是一套可信的负责任的矿产生产实践标准。
2. 对适用于采矿、冶炼和/或精炼作业的其他自愿性标准的基准测试结果作出反应，以调整风险评估，以便：
   1. 确保全面覆盖相关问题领域。
   2. 对标准的范围提供更多的清晰度和规定，以及/或
   3. 适当地加强标准，以确保这些标准继续反映该领域主要自愿标准以及主要利益相关者群体的核心期望。
3. 通过针对实施公司和评估人员的配套标准指南，明确实施和保证RRA标准的要求。
