RMI confirms EMRT v2.1 as recommended reporting-year template and notes next version anticipated Spring 2026

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) EMRT landing page indicates EMRT v2.1 is the recommended template for the reporting year and summarizes template changes (e.g., added “Select Minerals/Metals in Scope” notice; expanded Product List fields for requester product number/name; updates to Smelter List, Mine List, Smelter Reference List, and Standard Smelter List). The page also notes governance/quality points (RMI does not recognize modified templates outside its consensus process; guidance on CID issues and use of reference lists). RMI further states the next EMRT version is anticipated to be released in Spring 2026, which compliance teams should track for upcoming supplier survey/template updates.
