POSCO has developed a Responsible Minerals ¹⁾ policy and, in conjunction with its with group companies, including POSCO International and POSCO Future M, has established the Group Supply Chain Management Council. This council aims to collectively address and manage risks across the supply chain.

POSCO, alongside its supply chain, is implementing a ‘5-Step Supply Chain Responsible Minerals Management’ process based on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance to enforce the responsible minerals policy. In March 2024, for raw materials sourced from 28 countries designated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) as 263 Conflict Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRA), we assess risks from the supplier registration stage to identify high-risk suppliers (Red Flag) and prevent ethical issues. For high-risk suppliers, we conduct audits through independent third-party agencies to identify and verify potential risks. Additionally, we develop responsible minerals education content to promote the dissemination and implementation of POSCO’s Responsible Minerals Policy across the entire supply chain.
