THE CONTEXT OF THE MICA INDUSTRY

Mica is a family of 37 minerals used in many applications. Its visual properties make it an exceptional pigment base. Mica is widely used in the cosmetics industry, in paints and coatings, and in inks. Mica is also an excellent insulator. It is used in the electronics industry, in plastics as a filler, and in building materials. The petroleum industry, especially drilling, also uses mica for its specific properties. The automotive industry, as a user of paint and electronic components, is an important end user of mica.

About 25% of the world's production comes from India, in particular from the two states of Bihar and Jharkhand, where mica is produced by artisanal miners. Similarly, a significant portion of the world's production comes from the southern regions of Madagascar. The poverty-stricken situation in which artisanal mining communities live often leaves them with no choice but to rely on their children’s work to support the family. The lack of access to quality education, social services, … are other root causes for this situation. In 2019, it was estimated that 10,000 children were working in mica mines in Madagascar, and in 2022, that 30,000 children were working in mica mines in Bihar and Jharkhand.


ESTABLISHING COLLABORATION

In 2016, stakeholders from across the mica value chain, including mica using companies, NGOs and other civil society organizations, eager to find ways to address the systemic issues of child labor and poor working conditions in the upstream mica value chain (mines and processing units) gathered in New Delhi, India, for the first-ever Mica Summit. Together, they committed to action. The Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI) was born.


ABOUT THE RESPONSIBLE MICA INITIATIVE (RMI): TOWARDS FAIR, RESPONSIBLE

& SUSTAINABLE MICA SUPPLY CHAINS

The Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI) is a global ‘Coalition for Action’ – putting policy into practice – comprised of multiple organizations committed to establishing fair, responsible, and sustainable mica supply chains globally, that will eliminate unacceptable working conditions and eradicate child labor.

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. RMI started its program in 2017 in the two states of Jharkhand and Bihar in India, and in 2022 in

the South of Madagascar. RMI's program pillars follow and fulfill the goals established by intergovernmental agencies, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the United Nations Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs), and the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict and High-Risk Areas. Since its creation, the approach developed by RMI has been recognized on multiple occasions as innovative and effective (by the U.S. Department of Labor, by the United Nations, by the International Labor Organization).

Today, RMI has around 100 members, including companies in the cosmetics, paints, pigments,

automotive, cables and other industrial applications industries, as well as their suppliers, and NGOs.
