## Introduction

Some words about sustainability & resilience and the need for digital traceability and transparency. Greenwashing challenge & race to the top/ race to the bottom paths ahead

## Document Purpose

To provide the context and guide-rails for the pilot implementations in the CRM domain.

### Audience

The audience for this document include

Role | Rationale
--|--
Mining operators |
Refiners & manufacturers |
ESG standards & certifiers |
Software vendors |
Regulators |

## Document Context

TBA

## Project Context

Some words about how this project fit together with and complements other UN work

* UN SDGs, criteria, indicators & tools. They are national level, our project is entity & product level.
* Other UNECE traceability & transparency domains (textile & leather, agro-food). We build on common foundations.
* UN/CEFACT trade vocabularies & standards – we use and, where necessary, extend them.
* Industry standards (eg GS1 EPCIS) – we use established and relevant standards wherever they exist (so long as they are open & free) and do not re-invent them.
* Global sustainability standards and regulations – we map them but do not re-invent them.

## Design Principles

Some words about key design principles. For example,
* simple and implementable always wins over expansive & complex.
* open and free is a fundamental requirement.
* collaboratively developed encourages buy-in
* decentralised over centralised will always be more scalable.

## Design Challenges

Some words about the key challenges that scalable digital traceability & transparency faces. The design must solve these challenges. For example
* greenwashing
* plethora of platforms – so we must focus on in interoperability, not picking winners.
* plethora of standards – so we must focus on mapping between them to maximise reuse.


## Scope

Some words about the scope of this requirements document.

* Critical Raw Materials supply chain business modelling (actors, processes, products, etc) for at least 3 minerals.
* Extensions as necessary to traceability standards
* Mappings as necessary for CRM standards & regulations.
* Legal and ethical considerations (mutual recognition, disputes, etc)


## The Critical Raw Materials Value Chain

Setting out the language of the domain.

### Actors

### Cobalt

Specifics for Cobalt

### Copper

Specifics for Copper

### Nickel

Specifics for Nickel

### Rare Earths

Specifics for Rare Earths

### EV Batteries

Value chain from minerals to batteries (EV and household /community storage)

### Solar Panels

Value chain from minerals to solar panels (industrial generation and household)



## Traceability Requirements

### Data Model

Reference the generic traceability & transparency models and specify any extensions.

### Vocabulary

Reference the generic ESG vocabulary and specify CRM specific extensions.

### Identifier Schemes

Reference generic identifier schemes and specific any industry specific requirements.

### Trust Anchors

Identify Specific trust anchors for CRM domain

## Sustainability Requirements

### ESG Standards & Regulations

List standards and regulations relevant to the CRM sector. Including type categorisation
