Streamline EMRT Reporting for Enhanced Minerals Transparency with Acquis Compliance Solutions

Extended Minerals refer to specific minerals, such as Cobalt and Mica, that are commonly used in various industries, including electronics, automotive, and cosmetics.

The EMRT is a standardized reporting template designed to disclose information on multiple minerals. It replaces and combines the previously-existing Cobalt Reporting Template (CRT) and Mica Reporting Template (MRT) into a unified format. Over time it is expected to expand and include additional minerals as well.

Although regulations may not explicitly mandate the disclosure of minerals beyond the "3TGs" (tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold), there is a growing expectation for voluntary declaration and due diligence across many different industries. The EMRT provides a structured framework for companies to fulfil customer & Investor expectations and showcase their commitment to responsible sourcing practices.

Extended Minerals reporting is crucial for promoting responsible sourcing practices and ensuring transparency in the supply chain. It helps identify the presence of minerals associated with ethical concerns, such as child labour or human rights violations, allowing companies to mitigate risks and make informed decisions.

Challenges in Extended Minerals reporting include supply chain complexity, identifying and verifying smelters, gathering data from multiple suppliers, and ensuring the accuracy and completeness of information throughout the reporting process.
