RMI releases EMRT template v2.11 and recommends it for the reporting year

Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) released Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) version 2.11 (release date stated as April 17, 2026) and recommends companies use this version for the reporting year. This is an operational compliance update for supply-chain due diligence programs that require EMRT submissions: companies should update internal SOPs, supplier instructions, and any portal/import validations to the v2.11 file. RMI also reiterates template control expectations (e.g., it does not recognize modified versions not developed via its consensus process), which is relevant for governance and auditability of supplier submissions.
