Germany EITI Validation 2023:
Call for views on stakeholder engagement
What does EITI stand for and what does it have to do with raw materials?
“EITI stands for the global ‘Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative', which is committed to promoting financial transparency and accountability in the extractive sector and aims to fight corruption. Besides Germany, more than 50 countries implement the EITI standard and thereby disclose information including tax payments, licences and production volumes. Transparency is important because where information on revenues is disclosed, civil society actors and also parliaments can better understand the payment flows and thus prevent corruption and exploitation."
