Abstract
Sourcing critical raw materials responsibly means clearly understanding how they are extracted, where exactly they come from, what are the links in the supply chain, and all of the related aspects such as corruption risk, sanctions compliance and AML/CTF issues. In today’s geopolitical situation when global powers are competing for military dominance where critical materials play a crucial role, the transparency of supply chains becomes even more important.
Enhanced due diligence keeps you safe and compliant within the fog of transnational trade ambiguity. It requires an in-depth approach to open source intelligence as well as source enquiries methods to clarify the actual players involved and identify toxic elements within your supply chain ecosystem, but not just tick the box through basic database screening.
