The RMI is an initiative under the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the world’s largest industry coalition, supporting companies in sourcing minerals responsibly and managing their supply chains.


The RMAP is a program in which a third-party independent agency verifies that there are no unethical issues in the mineral extraction process, such as human rights violations, labor exploitation, environmental destruction, or funding of conflict-affected areas.


Yeongpoong explained that, through this RMAP certification, the Seokpo Smelter has proactively mitigated regulatory risks and maintained its credibility in the global market.



A Yeongpoong official stated, "We systematically manage responsible minerals supply chains and conflict minerals risks in accordance with RMAP standards," adding, "We will continue to strengthen supply chain management and ESG practices in line with global standards."
