Responsible Cobalt Initiative

The Responsible Cobalt Initiative is a global effort to ensure cobalt, a metal used in batteries for electronics and electric vehicles, is sourced ethically and sustainably. It aims to prevent environmental damage, human rights abuses, and unfair labor practices, particularly in regions where cobalt is mined. The initiative promotes strict standards, transparency, and accountability among companies and miners, encouraging responsible practices from extraction to supply chain management. By doing so, it helps protect communities and promotes ethical use of resources, ensuring cobalt benefits both industry and society without causing harm.
