What does the Responsible Sourcing Coalition do?
RESCO IS: A coalition of members who challenge the status quo of what it means to ‘source responsibly’.
RESCO is taking on confronting challenges for which no proven path exists. The Coalition is committing to a purpose greater than the interests of any one organization, which makes it unique and full of potential.
RESCO IS: A platform for deep engagement, learning and discovery about responsible sourcing. We want to accelerate the transition of responsible sourcing from a mindset of risk management to one of long-term value creation, and where structural inequality is neutralised.
We embody the principles of
the Development Partner Framework:
fairness, equity and inclusivity.

WHAT ARE RESCO’S PRIORITIES?
Designed through a multi-stakeholder visioning process, our four priority activities for 2023 are in areas ripe for change or in need of urgent attention.
These activities bring different stakeholder groups together in ways that may be new or unexplored and will open avenues for future activities necessary to bring our 2040 vision to life.

Build the RESCO Hub and Marketplace
The RESCO Hub will be an information platform for two main groups: mining companies and value chain actors seeking clarity and guidance about responsible sourcing and governmental and non-governmental organisations seeking organised responsible sourcing information. The RESCO Hub will be a common space for engagement with fellow interested parties and become the ‘home’ for Responsible Sourcing.
The RESCO Marketplace will be an innovation platform, a space for new ideas to meet expertise and funding. This will be a ‘go-to’ space for innovators and technology providers, enterprises and entrepreneurs, and research groups such as academic institutions.

Address Structural Inequality in the Mining Value Chain
RESCO will tackle culture in the mining industry and value-chain to address the difficult topic of structural inequality. We will start with case studies, inter and intra-sector analysis and deep interviews with a vision to shift cultural norms.
This critical work invites community groups and individuals, mining companies of any size, and consumer-facing companies to be involved.

Establish “The Community”
In this space, community representatives can engage deeply with other value chain stakeholders to share community perspectives where they may not otherwise have this opportunity.
Develop the RESCO Responsible Sourcing Framework
To guide and grow the work of RESCO, we are in the process of developing the RESCO Responsible Sourcing Framework. This will act as a comprehensive expression of the principles and values that underpin the work of RESCO and articulate what the entire community is committed to.
Our framework will serve as a way to communicate RESCO to stakeholders, potential partners and any new individuals interested in the work we do. It will also be the ‘true north’ as we continue to forge a path towards sustainable, people-centric, responsible sourcing.
