Description

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) provides CMRT operational guidance for downstream companies on how to manage annual supplier data collection when new CMRT versions are released (typically in April). The FAQ clarifies that companies do not need to re-survey suppliers solely because a new CMRT is released; instead, companies should use the most recent CMRT version available when initiating their annual supplier survey and document which version was used/accepted. This affects CMRT version control, supplier campaign timing, and defensible documentation for customer and downstream due diligence expectations that rely on CMRT outputs.
