About Us

At Conflict Free Minerals, our mission is to promote ethical and sustainable mining practices by certifying conflict-free mines and ensuring transparency in the supply chain. We believe that minerals should be sourced responsibly—without funding violence, exploiting workers, or harming the environment. Through our certification process, we empower businesses and consumers to make informed choices about the minerals they use and purchase.

ConflictFreeMinerals.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to verifying and certifying low-risk mineral sources. We:

• Inspect Mines: Conduct on-site audits and verifications to ensure ethical mining practices.
• Maintain a Conflict-Free Mines List: Publicly list certified conflict-free mines to promote responsible sourcing.
• Provide Certification Stamps: Offer businesses a trusted seal of approval for using conflict-free minerals.
• Support Ethical Supply Chains: Partner with companies, NGOs, and industry leaders to drive sustainable mining standards.

Our certification process includes: 

• Rigorous Assessment: Mines must comply with strict ethical, environmental, and labor standards.
• Traceability & Documentation: Mines must provide transparent records proving responsible sourcing.
• Independent Audits: We conduct on-site inspections or work with trusted third-party verifiers.
• Certification Approval: Once verified, a mine is added to our Conflict-Free Mines List and businesses using these minerals can apply for our certification stamp.

By choosing Conflict Free Minerals, businesses and consumers can trust that their minerals come from responsible sources. Our certification ensures ethical labor practices and environmental responsibility, supports transparent supply chains and traceable sourcing, helps companies meet regulatory and compliance standards, and provides a trusted seal of approval for ethical products. We send boots on the ground to meet miners in person, and make sure our certified minerals are conflict free.
