Minimising negative impacts of bauxite mining in Guinea

Aluminium is an important part of many components used by companies in the energy sector. Guinea is the world's most important exporter of bauxite, the primary material in aluminium production. There are numerous reports concerning human rights and environmental risks in Guinea's bauxite mining sector.

One working group of the energy sector dialogue is specifically addressing the issue of bauxite mining in Guinea.

The aim is to develop common requirements for suppliers to achieve ambitious standards in bauxite mining in Guinea and to have an impact on the mine operators through the establishment of a dialogue format for the implementation of remedies.

A fact sheet provides information on the measures to be prepared and implemented by the working group in 2024 and 2025
