This year, Alexia Ruvoletto and Julija Menise from the SSI Secretariat participated in the annual OECD Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains. In addition to meeting with several civil society organisations and international organisation representatives, Alexia and Julija attended the session on ‘Human Rights Due Diligence in Upstream Mineral Supply Chains of Solar & Wind Energy Sectors,’ organised by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) and the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.
As Head of the SSI Secretariat, Alexia engaged in a roundtable with a diverse group of stakeholders, including industry representatives, civil society, multi-stakeholder initiatives, and international organisations. The session, titled ‘Tripling Renewables by 2030: Why Mining Governance Matters for the Energy Transition,’ provided valuable insights aligned with the SSI vision.
