Donors
The Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI) is a multi-stakeholder Coalition for Action committed to establishing a fair, responsible and sustainable mica supply chain globally, that will eliminate unacceptable working conditions and eradicate child labor.
RMI’s approach
RMI was created in 2017 by companies in the global mica supply chain and civil society organizations that shared a commitment to eliminate unacceptable working conditions and eradicate child labor in mica supply chains globally, starting with the “mica belt” that straddles Bihar and Jharkhand states in India. Today, RMI is also working in the South of Madagascar. From the outset, RMI members understood that a sustainable solution to mica sourcing related challenges would require a multi-stakeholder engagement and a holistic approach that simultaneously address the interrelated underlying factors that contribute to poor working conditions and the use of child labor in the region. That strategy translates into RMI’s three integrated program pillars that will establish responsible workplace standards, empower local communities and establish a legal framework for the mica sector.
