PPA-FUNDED RESEARCH ON HOW FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS CAN BETTER SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
In January 2019, the PPA commissioned research from Sofala Partners and BetterChain to explore the potential roles to financial institutions in promoting responsible minerals trade from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, and the barriers to that engagement. The research was completed in April 2019.
