Descripción del proyecto
Apoyo a las empresas de la UE en materia de obtención responsable de recursos
Es importante mantener la transparencia en la cadena de suministro comercial, y la relación con los proveedores debe tener en cuenta factores sociales y medioambientales. A esta responsabilidad en la cadena de suministro se la denomina también obtención responsable de recursos. Básicamente, es una denominación general que abarca todo el sistema de obtención de recursos, y su diseño es socialmente responsable, económicamente viable y sensible ante cuestiones medioambientales. Para fomentar esta obtención responsable de recursos, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos RE-SOURCING creará una plataforma física y digital mundial para las partes interesadas que facilite el desarrollo de una definición aceptada por todos, respalde la labor de las empresas de la UE en materia de prácticas de obtención responsable de recursos y facilite la puesta en práctica de la Asociación Europea para la Innovación en Materias Primas.
Objetivo
The proposed project will set up an international platform on responsible sourcing (RS) that: 1. facilitates the development of a globally accepted definition of RS, 2. develops ideas for incentives facilitating responsible business conduct in the EU, supporting RS initiatives, 3. enables exchange of stakeholders for information exchange and promotion, 4. fosters the emergence of RS in international political fora, and 5. supports the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials.
To achieve the above mentioned objectives, the platform will connect experts and stakeholders by means of a physical element (“Platform Spaces”) and digital element (“Digital Ground”):
The Platform Spaces will allow practitioners (i) to gain a hands-on and peer-to-peer learning experience in workshops and site visits to exchange and learn from enabling factors, instruments and tools facilitating RS initiatives and business conduct for practitioners, and (ii) to engage with stakeholders at international conferences to further the concept of RS on the global political agenda.
The Digital Ground will (i) enable, through innovative digital tools such as digital conference spaces and webinars, more easily connect international players and engage them in networking, promotion and information exchange activities, and (ii) synthesise and make easily accessible ideas that incentivise RS initiatives and responsible business conduct.
The proposed project will feature important Flagship Cases of mature and well-established RS initiatives for raw materials highly relevant for Europe’s future energy, mobility and infrastructure development.
By engaging international experts and stakeholders via the digital and physical platform element, the project team will be able to engage these initiatives into mutual learning processes on success elements and challenges encountered, and to identify enabling factors that will help recently established and upcoming RS initiatives to become success stories.
