La formalisation de l'exploitation minière artisanale en RDC ouvrira la voie à la création d'une chaîne d'approvisionnement minière transparente et éthiquement responsable. En outre, elle contribuera à freiner les activités minières illégales, à réduire l'impact sur l'environnement et à aider le pays à atteindre ses objectifs de durabilité. Cela n'a jamais été aussi important, car des entreprises internationales telles que BMW et Volkswagen cherchent à sécuriser l'approvisionnement en matières premières - de manière responsable - pour leurs propres besoins en véhicules électriques. Lors de cette session, les experts exploreront la stratégie et les meilleures pratiques pour assurer la transparence dans le secteur minier de la RDC.
