The Extractive Commodity Trading Report (ECTR) 2023 is an evidence-based assessment of due diligence and public disclosure among a sample of companies in the extractive commodity trading sector. Coming two years after the first edition of the assessment, the Report continues to track, and encourage improvement in, companies’ policies and practices related to responsible sourcing and public data sharing.

The assessment focuses on issues related to the trading activities of each company, providing an overview of the basic measures that the companies are taking to: (1) manage their supply chain risks related to human rights abuses, illicit financial flows and environmental damage; and (2) publicly share data on their corporate governance, trading activities and other public interest issues.
