Mission & Goals
The Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI) is a global 'coalition of action' – putting policy into practice – comprised of multiple organizations committed to establishing a fair, responsible and sustainable mica supply chain globally, that will eliminate unacceptable working conditions and eradicate child labour. RMI uses a multi-stakeholder and holistic approach that engages companies, civil society organizations, industry associations and governments to develop and implement three integrated program pillars that will establish responsible workplace standards, empower local communities and establish a legal framework for the mica sector.
