Metals & Minerals 
certification

Metals and minerals extraction is potentially dangerous and polluting. To mitigate risk and preserve their reputation, many businesses certify their metal and mineral supply chain and production processes.

The metals and minerals industry is heavily scrutinized, pushing companies to prove their ethical business practices at all stages of production. Responsible sourcing and supply chain monitoring are key to preserving natural resources and ensuring safe, fair labor practices.

With certification and auditing from Bureau Veritas, companies can demonstrate compliance with global requirements for safety, quality and social responsibility. Certification also helps businesses safeguard their commercial interests, gain a competitive edge and contribute to a more sustainable vision of metal and mineral sourcing.

ASI: Ensuring safe aluminum sourcing

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) promotes continuous improvement in the environmental and social impact of aluminum production, use and recycling.

Bureau Veritas is among the few certification bodies worldwide to offer accredited certification to ASI.   

RJC: Committing to responsible jewellery production

The Responsible Jewellery Council sets social and environmental standards for the entire jewelry value chain, from mining to retail. Companies can be certified by Bureau Veritas to two standards: Code of Practices (for responsible business practices) and Chain of Custody (for responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence).

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) helps companies address responsible mineral sourcing issues. The Responsible Minerals Assurance Process allows smelters and refiners to demonstrate their ethical sourcing practices. In turn, businesses can prove their responsible sourcing, and through certification by Bureau Veritas, ensure compliance with RMI standards.
