The 2024 OECD Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains will take place on 21-24 May 2024 at the OECD Headquarters in Paris.

The 17th edition of the Forum will reflect longstanding and emerging priorities in fostering responsible mineral supply chains, with sessions spanning often overlooked conflict risks, development minerals, regional sessions on gold supply chains, policy cohesion in an evolving regulatory landscape, and the role for responsible business conduct in government-to-government agreements on transition minerals. A key theme will be bridging longstanding focus areas like conflict financing risks with the opportunities for enhancing the sector’s contribution to sustainable development through the increasing strategic profile of transition minerals.

Main Forum sessions will take place on Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 May 2024, with partner-led sessions organised that same week on 21-24 May 2024.

We invite partners in mineral producing and processing countries to organise local Forum hubs to promote dialogue around the event on due diligence implementation in specific contexts. The call for proposal to organise local hubs and brief guidelines is available in: English French Spanish. The deadline for submission is 19th April.
