Welcome to Highgrade and this podcast series on the responsible sourcing of minerals. Over the last four episodes, we have looked at the main production steps in the supply chain of cobalt - a metal necessary for high-performing batteries, and as such key to support the transition to a future free of fossil fuels. Today in our final stop, we explore the role of regulators in responsible sourcing.

Global sales are on the rise, and so is the demand for the cobalt that goes into the batteries that power these vehicles.

To answer this question, this podcast series takes us on a journey through the supply chain of cobalt, a commodity that is critical to the global energy transition. We start at mine site - but not any mine site. A significant proportion of cobalt is sourced from artisanal and small-scale mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where life is tough and often linked to child labour and environmental harm.

In most cases, the ultimate owner of underground resources is the State. Governments grant companies the privilege to exploit these resources.
