Fair Cobalt Alliance

The Fair Cobalt Alliance is a global initiative focused on improving the safety, transparency, and fairness of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a key source for the metal used in batteries. It aims to eliminate child labor, reduce environmental harm, and ensure that miners are paid fairly. By collaborating with companies, governments, and local communities, the alliance promotes responsible practices, supports safer working conditions, and builds a transparent supply chain. Its goal is to help meet the growing demand for ethical and sustainably sourced cobalt, which is essential for advanced technologies like electric vehicles and electronics.
