The study by Melanie Müller, Christina Saulich, Svenja Schöneich and Meike Schulze is based on in-depth analyses of two metal supply chains: copper from the Andes and platinum from Southern Africa. It focuses on – and supplies policy recommendations for – the issue of supply chains in industrial mining.
The empirical material stems from more than 130 discussions and interviews with interlocutors from politics and administration, industry, civil society and academia, conducted in 2021 and 2022 as part of the research project on “Transnational Governance of Sustainable Commodity Supply Chains in the Andean Region and Southern Africa”, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The centre of interest lay in the mining nations of Chile, Peru, South Africa and Zimbabwe, the trading centres of Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and the implications for Germany and other EU countries as major importers.
