Copper Mark, a traceability system launched by the International Copper Association (ICA), expected more members this year after two units of mining giant Rio Tinto joined in May.
Copper Mark was launched in April 2019 as part of ICA’s effort to bring the whole copper supply chain in par with the rising standards and expectations for responsible copper production.
It welcomed Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia and Kennecott Utah Copper in the US, both owned by Rio Tinto, and expected members of the ICA to be among the early adopters, said Michele Brulhart, its executive director.
