Full Description
Country of Origin and Supply Chain Data
Criterion ID: AM02-Country-of-Origin-and-Supply-Chain-Data Category: Core Due Diligence
Description
Sourcing data including countries of origin, secondary materials, intermediate materials, non-mineral primary feedstock, ASM sourcing, and high-risk supply chain indicators, as applicable.
Assessment Coverage
Assessors collect the facility's supply chain sourcing profile, covering countries of origin for primary mined materials, ASM sourcing determination and supplier counts by country, intermediate and secondary material suppliers and their countries of origin, non-mineral primary feedstock suppliers, and identification of any high-risk supply chains or red-flag suppliers. This section provides the geographic and structural map of the facility's upstream supply chain and triggers applicability of high-risk assessment modules.
Conformance Claim
Conformance with this criterion indicates that the facility has identified and maintained records on countries of origin and key supply chain attributes, including sourcing profile, material types, and supplier information.
Profiles using this criterion
Responsible Minerals Assurance Process
Conformity Alignment
Conform
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The facility is conformant with a requirement if no non-conformances are identified - i.e., significant deviations from the Standard requirements or the Assessment Criteria.
"
Conform Continual Improvement
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The facility has developed the required policy, procedure, or process but has only partially completed its implementation. The facility must formally acknowledge that not all due diligence has been completed and provide a plan or road map for full implementation. Outstanding items must be resolved within the following assessment period.
"
Conform Observation
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The assessor notes information that does not constitute a non-conformance, including limitations encountered during the assessment, unique aspects of facility operations, or other relevant feedback. Non-conformances addressed during the on-site assessment are reclassified to this level in the final report.
"
Non Conform
Pass: No
Definition: "The facility's systems, processes, and practices deviate from the Standard requirements or the Assessment Criteria. Deviations are substantive gaps in policy, process, or implementation that constitute a non-conformance as supported by sufficient and appropriate assessment evidence.
"
Zero Tolerance
Pass: No
Definition: "A zero-tolerance situation exists where access to the facility, documentation, or key personnel is denied; any bribe or gift is offered to the assessor; documentation has been falsified; the facility deliberately misrepresents facts through deception, coercion, or interference; or any other action or absence thereof risks the credibility or integrity of the RMAP system. The assessor stops the assessment immediately and notifies RMI.
"
Not Applicable
Pass: No
Definition: "The criterion or assessment activity does not apply to the facility based on its operations, sourcing profile, or assessor determination of applicability conditions.
