supplying materials from global resolution within mining t, as in high demand around the world, cobalt industrial countries urgently need the medical to make that change the house of all the electric vehicles in the race to slow climate change, cobalt has become key to the transition away from fossil fuels. who's paying the price the . the
3:18 am
coal lazy is the cobalt capital of the world way here in the house with the cost to build an industrial region location, the southern part of the sea and neighboring sand, beyond a century of mining shapes the landscape. this is my 1st trip to co lazy. what struck me most was just how the whole city was built around the mining industry around and on top of these, these minerals. and just this very, very, very strong feeling that these people, the people living that should be benefiting from this extraordinary wealth, which is generating prosperity, the chinese companies, european companies, american companies. but they're suffering, they're not the ones benefiting from this. you know, this particular came home and in some parts of the city where homes have
3:19 am
a being demolished, to make way, fix the expansion of industrial mines. and it comes home in the parts of the city where people are digging down into the basements of the houses around the ground to access the cable. it's extremely dysfunctional. i'm seems and actually had a program on corporate accountability and the role that companies play in human rights abuses around the world for about 15 years now. and we've, we had done previous projects in the d. c. looking at the mining industry but, but primarily focused on the, the big industrial mines. um, you know, during the reading about as doing some basic research about this revealed to me you know, obviously it's not a secret for anyone in the d. c, but the, the autism mining sector was becoming increasingly large, particularly when it came to cobalt. the chris,
3:20 am
the diggers were risking their lives in the health to take the this, this mccloud, they're also not receiving. probably very few receiving a fair price for that labor. they're being exploited financially. we found the children, the youngest 7 rate, but also involved in this, in this industry of the doing that because the foresight, the, the main point is that the report with that as much as 20 percent of those codes was coming from autism minds. in the d. c, we wanted to know where this cable went, who was buying this, which companies which tech companies, using the mobile phone manufacturers, the laptop manufacturers were using this cable in the batteries. and what would they doing to, to understand the supply chain and understand these conditions the response
3:21 am
we got. so this report drawing the links to, you know, from the child labor to his new mining, the cable industry linking these mines to these famous brands had a massive media pickup, much more than we were expecting. calling this to reports of 2016. the mining industry was forced to make its supply chains were transparent. then in 2019 v o e c t port to get to the most important companies that are formed in coal lazy. the aim was to support them in tracing cobalt. how the magic woods due diligence due diligence is a process where by companies all supposed to map the
3:22 am
supply chains or other business relationships and operations. and identify in what ways those the business relationships or supply chains might be linked to human rights abuses. and if that means, okay, all the way to the point of a extraction, then so be it. many manufacturers commission to service provide us the global to discover the conditions under which the cobalt was being mined. the company monitors industrial mines and is trying to integrate the hot seasonal mines in june conditions programs. one of the mines audited by aussie is global has made all the due diligence criteria, the pilot mind in custody will a district of coal lazy in 2014. a resident here discovered
3:23 am
a vein of coal. both that his own body attracted as many as 15000 prospect is to ensure the district didn't collapse, and to keep children by the provincial government expropriated the prophecy. it then transferred operation of the mind to hawaii cobalt which we settled the residents as part of the deal. the chinese company is relying about teasing will mining cooperatives to extract the initial y using binds. what's produced and has commissioned aussie is mobile with it's q diligence. it's good for the company's image. company had come on to fi from amnesty international selling coal mine using child labor now for spaces in costume to no longer with the lights. that the list are still at the mercy of the chinese who set the price for what they thought was a good the supplement by which does it cost is to claim a shaft like the sum that up with the 5000 gun forgot. send me
3:24 am
350002400000 con. please frank. you think you more? i will keep you guys? did you think it'd be gold or wouldn't the scaffold and it's to reinforce the want to start the funds. how about this? i mean, that costs around 200000 francs. those are the funds i have to know before that we pay the, the tops and all the rent money. they may be able to get. we need 3 scaffolds and all of that. but i've got meaning that i'd be 12. so that's 500000 francs to support the sean. i cannot do this. they can actually. how much does the cooperative cover look good. i have to go to, oh god, i get came to the co operative doesn't camera boxes and me so how much is left for you? then when i get into this rodney, i would have to knock on you, but just enough to pay for a manual fund now to move to pointing to the mine and laundry. so. so the we look clean one eye size, sky back, it will show flu. i see, i see cause say that this is good luck. just don't have to meet, you know,
3:25 am
it's nice to see it guys. yeah. beautiful. if i see i will, it doesn't offer any future. there's not a problem on the next. you don't spend anything because we don't do the what are we supposed to live on the sign in front of me on the sign on 0, we should data companies like us cs global has a numerous pallet in the new market at the q diligence service, listed above that, given the continually changing, not seasonal mind, some conflict supply chains, how can one guarantee genuine pricing? there are different ways in which the downstream companies try to dodge their responsibility. one of those is to hire consultants, expensive consultants who basically conduct the due diligence themselves to the reporting. and that's kept. that's the one with the links from the company itself. the other thing that the companies do is joint industries gains. so they're doing that with all the other companies in the sector and they, they create
3:26 am
a body which does the due diligence for them will all promote a set of standards, which they will sign up to. and then it's just a paper exercise. they can all say yes, we agree with these standards, we've signed up to the standards, but it doesn't necessarily lead to the change we want to see on the ground. and that's why there is a role for organizations. i am as the international but particularly a role for organizations like don't as him in crazy because you need the voices and the, the expertise of lawyers and activists. and scientists and community members themselves . and mine is in the d. c. understanding what's going on and exposing what's going on because we've got to see that change that it's no good just having, you know, a fancy report on a website. as in the past, the emphasis continues to be on child labor. and with good reason,
3:27 am
there was still thousands of children working in the small mines in the law, but if many in g o say that as a result, the other problems which cannot be solved dimensions like post resettlement, without appropriate compensation. environmental pollution and corruption are pushed into the background and these they'll take these a key. so let me know the owners take the move in the become a cause, a very reserved when it comes to this topic. and that's just for the example. now you the, the, for example, they've been farms organized by the o e c. d on this very issue of responsible procurement of mineral looking to show up under to do and go through it know kind of discussion on corruption. can you find a representative of the auto industry waiting to sit next to me and explain his industry's point of view as well? how could it and what both. hopefully they'll fit the policy. uh, just like the little girl work. yes, it's good. the sol. so there's a topic is practically to do because everyone knows that the problem affects the
3:28 am
launch part of the cobalt supply chain. the forties and logical, but it wondering of come the least natural resources is nothing new. more than 60 is built in colonial rules in which themselves from the comb, cuz resources after independence was declared in 1960, a new type of plundering began to dictate him a boot assistance. eco and his friends saw from both billions and profit from the station we know company is inconvenient. in 1997, the whole design a competing has ceased palate and war for account off the computer was assassinated in 2001. his son is joseph, became president. he restored peace and stimulation, the mining sector in order to fill government costs is jason mean was bankrupt and
3:29 am
didn't mean in 2002 good. it turns out that jake, i mean, was just as broke as the congolese government to platform amicus and not just economically in the bottom of the, the world bank forced reforms. i'm the governmental it. they said they said to us, going to yes, you have the minerals, everybody, but not the resources to make the sector reliable and re open your country up to multinational corporations move muskets. i prevent worked well for us because of the congolese government already had his hands in the mining business and could earn dividends as well as the diesel. but i didn't mean you, you saw glen core in 1st quantum or among the multi nationals that came into the congo for scott to sit. clicking on all the big ones came, but not to give the people the future. for monday, they all came to make deals, and as i said, don't put lipstick, don't you go back to school g for the info and jody in order to understand the
3:30 am
cobalt sector. you 1st have to look at how the companies that are active today in the congo success obtain the mining licenses involved, especially the cobalt bison. so that's it is what i think it's have been done just to keep the shows up. we're dumped and is ready. businessman named dan gal now says he played sort of the mediator role between the multi nationals that were interested in licenses for cup and cobalt and the congress petitions who could make decisions about who called the license of this, you know, just use it. but in many cases, this happened. let me guess you're not a multinational corporation. it's for the be at the swiss blanco group or the cause i q ration research group. wanted to get some license that once belonged to the state companies to come in the vegetables and maybe, but instead of selling the license directly to the corporation or holding around is bidding to find the best invest. uh it says, is it coming? did something that's known as a direct awarded the contracts low season is i don't the license has very low price
3:31 am
to down gap sales. yeah, cuz they don't, they do have good connections to the phone with president tiffany. joseph kabibi ask of you just to push alex, push it all that out. is it? yeah. won't use the closest you'll actually back off. he came to power in 2001 just as could be in a different a den get got to was bringing new money into the congo at a time when the country urgently needed investment. and he made a way to west and companies to enter the country in 2007 to form a global leader enroll materials. glenn cole received the best prospecting licenses in the country through good to both became co shareholders in terms of mining, one of the world's largest coal mines, planned cold in loans, good median. so after he negotiated another mind, deal with the congo minus transaction became public. these very came up on the
3:32 am
useful thorough cheese res, i suspect to get over bribing. the could be la regime regarding several projects. sometimes even with the participation of a us investment fund. it's estimated that the call is government law small to be in us dollars during the cost of these deals, things became uncomfortable for good. and so as a result of this, he was placed under the sanctions and the other actors were also place a certain high officers, if it could be a regime and others as well. but certainly he is the largest tar it was the largest target in terms of the value of the assets he controls the us, which also wanted to invest in the congo filed lawsuits against and catholic under glenn. cool. britain in switzerland are also investigation. the company in 2022, the swiss multi national and now citizens set aside $1500000000.00 us dollars for
3:33 am
legal disputes. how do industrial groups like you, me call in belgium, which forces cobalt from claim cool views that if there is a conviction, we would need to assess what is happening, we will do our own assessment as well as the judge finds that the party is guilty and we will can to it and then make our our decision, of course. yeah. based on the the legal outcome. please. jesse, this is all specific. i'm to come see if we did. that's around that. disappointing to me key expressive means. imagine that you've got a company that's fine. go that's being mind using times. nathan. nope. these buffet by it. because the company hasn't been convicted to doing it. they'll find, do you have a problem? understand when it comes to child labor, you've never hear the arguments. no conviction, no problem intelligible, but it's different with corruption from them as long as no one gets convicted,
3:34 am
it's fine, but the lid, you have a pull in. it is clear to us that corruption is not a victimless crime. and so often that's how it's portrayed. it is money passing hands between middleman and corrupt elite officials. but of course, at the end of that chain are frequently ordinary citizens who suffer quite dramatically as a result of the corruption and the corruption around the metal. coal mine was no exception. mitchell cole only works with columbus long titles of mine. child were deposited in coal ways to join the village and colonial period. today the site has some of the richest you and the coffee built in the early 2, thousands the canadian company, 1st quote to receive prospecting rights. it was the deal of the century. the tiling still contained $300000.00 tons of cobalt, but the value of 20 us dollars. in suddenly the could be the regime pulling the
3:35 am
plug on the 1st quarter of it and withdrew the license. we now know from court documents and court records, what happened? and what occurred is that the mining license had been stripped through the assistance of a company owned by done garter who saw this as a very profitable mine. he held it for a short period of time and then slipped it to a large multinational the mining company then called you ration natural resources corporation, today called duration resources group, or e r g. and the company owns the mine today. but we know, through court records, it was in mind that was corrupted away by done, gartner, bribing comedies officials, including congress, these judges, in order to obtain the mining permit. it'll usually, i don't know if it is all the way you know, back then several 100 was,
3:36 am
were employed for the building. the new processing count in quite a ways the universe and all these people suddenly lost their drops to death. we found the home for the cars that company you ration resources, great thing completed, the facility which from then on was known as mitchell co battiata. despite all the sessions to the contrary, the 701st quantum workers who were fired with not to compensate as no re hyatt. they said he's, that's in because i don't know. so those are totally delivery, mind tailings, and that's the spark of the stuff is worth. i agree. yeah, well uh we but those are the reason for the desert. this is not the middle, but where does metal coal get the cobalt which give me the t lee metal coal works
3:37 am
back. they're actually quite far away. yes. behind the smoke back there. that's where a metal coal started the recovery. later it went as far as here, a couple months here. so some of the old buddies issues because it blows you on with it, blows it in it that cause we new projects such as metal coal, as on ethical. so we filed a lawsuit and fed and a cool you this. yeah. to send up as a low cost, it's an appeal to you to the collective consciousness depending on what most of my thing was, the engine to us and all those involved. that's an article on the final consumers on international n g o's and the companies this was using the cobalt, but they should also consider the living conditions of local communities that are involved in its mining. just felt that the visit goes up and i hope that with our involvement funds, we could make the parties aware of the real problems that copper and cobalt mine in
3:38 am
not just the issue of child labor to case if i'm not saying that the child labor isn't a problem on that, but it's not the biggest problem in the sector body. people don't program you think that what do you expect from the court? what i mean, that it results the case. what, that's what we get paid at the is injustice with the money. but what do you expect from the hearings that we have come up with and i'll get paid. then i'll get my severance, pay him up instead of paying and all at once to be paid, an installment. they have to do 600, right. and as i would do to find the most recent from that normal 600000 francs, we're getting fired with the company is going to go. and i just have a bunch of guys you guys on the list that my food stamp, when i was to i and enough money to pay school fees for the children and to pay the doctor now. now i can no longer for to become sick. it's bad, i was even able to pay the child tax with my wages. i mean i how can i find
3:39 am
a new job without a blessing? stop, but that guys you what the me not, not taking them. they just terminated the contract without any compensation, as if we didn't exactly protect up really because they didn't pay anything. but it's, i know we don't match it to them, but they're doing a bully. we're not, you know, people are treated up. i see the prostate equal to be not. we are hoping for a great deal from this case and then we'll hang in there until the end. we should like company has to admit its mistake and compensate us. it's about the phase. one is, i know that they're getting rich with what they're producing, they're so don't go to shoes. and we saw the people who built the factory in our poor doing 500, the left, some of the things that's unfair, similar to what i'm thinking to finish out of it. good. that's as if you would work a field together with your children. people payment is on fine, then when it's harvest time, you go and get the neighbors cancel. that's what's happening here. sick, a us at that point we still had work. we had access to medical care,
3:40 am
we are and enough to send our children to school. on monday kula is going to you and i got fired and my daughter became very ill. come to us. i did all i could to see that she was treated in the hospital. i looked at the lot. they turned me away for a new law or not a few that she died on the way home. i see a local the electric on my son died a year later in my opinion. and that's my daughter. he anita the. disappear name was much, much worse. yes. she had malaria, this farm, the malaria. and that's him. what was his name? something separate, i mean, we what happened?
3:41 am
we had malaria and yellow fever and my brother. yeah. a few years old. just a few years old. he died to really be seduce a c was 8 years old. now the width of the be of the 16 small donor for welcome to radio television, money. com. and today we're talking about eco system. the can invest. what are the consequences of mining for the local population? today, our guest as professor bones, are a toxicologist, and professor at the university of luba in by sheets. professor, what were you doing here and go away the walk? what you see? what sort of shows you, how corner is it, is that what can i say or the bad?
3:42 am
that if i 1st we assess the level of contamination of the ego systems that are relevant for the population that they did. a good saw a lady for the company that saw the polluted out the waterways. they put them in a saw the plus so so somebody's come a how contaminated are the fish that are in the cool book is so got the new take. yes, i don't see a nickel, so about the need for the quote, the nina. so after that we looked at people's house here. the 1st of us will give us. so i thought we wanted to see how much they've been affected by eating the fish weaving. in the dust and by the general contamination of their environment, they did the lucky on the dining table. so the professor sell us pump also has been investigation the each logical and health impacts of comb police mining for 15 years working for several in g o's. it's something companies applying due diligence, don't take all that seriously. i look it up to the c
3:43 am
good. is that the, the old from here, the acid flows down as far as the new river. a lot of you have a need in which blows into the congo in your village 7 on the flow of google, and you would realize that sits, it is as easy luck with the vote. the people who live there will tell you that they can smell the asset at night. that i see that getting a lot who's responsible for this ecological disaster. since it is at stake, why does it say the commercial copper company? first and foremost, all that belongs to glen court to follow their plans as over there. so the sip, lucy, see the last who that foam as long as you bought goodly, but then when the basement is full, they open the drain. going to do that. so fiscal equal is the then the color of the water changes, and this phone forms from the line that they dump into the basic and the last will just want to enter the rest of them. and then the advisor will come to you maybe
3:44 am
like the deluxe. don't put in the unless they put the alignment to keep the piece value greater than 70 to the sits. mit is in plus. becky, this is what you know, but i don't think it works because the toxic metals prevent the acid from being neutralized while you live, the less they did the lawyer and maybe they started with the city about that. so they'll say, look at the water, the soil in the model. yeah, yeah, of course of interest. the color shows that we continue to have a very serious problem here. the doctor's good because this river flows into the congo to the flow of global said land. but congo is one of africa's most important river lots but, but the law, it provides a large part of our country's water based on the 30 seconds on. let me see what it will just about, impossible for us to get an appointment with the authorities to deal with this issue on the demo. even here at the provincial level, really that goes over this. it was over there when the company wants an appointment on it. gets when he immediately was that because the company pays for it to google
3:45 am
them up. we see, not see, it was and for the same reasons, you know, you can almost rule out getting supports for the activities have been, you know, it's less safe to say said and the pressure from n g o is glen cool. finally consumed the leakage of so few eric acid. but it said it didn't have any effect on the stock sufficient surrounding pounds or ducks. weekly. the company has already begun compensating victims and cleaning up the ponds. phyllis bones on his team to take that highly elevated co, both by using the blood and you're on mine with this from crazy in an article into to a new nature sustainability. they were quoting changes in the dna of children who didn't have the task. an indication of an increased risk to can. so today is the preface is conducting test on about a 100 prospectors. they were exposed to radio. radioactive scans released from rogers, which contains uranium, the police, i believe,
3:46 am
i believe i believe the fluids can give you my bicycle bumper. finally emphasize yeah. will be less of a similar way to become a guys able to think because that's that you didn't couldn't give them up because he didn't give them up what that looks like because i'm going to up what time that's in the m o. e and 90 a month. yep. a little my neck. you up a movie. you talk a little, you know, you're my mother's you. you know, 10 and under book me i nicole, your 999 is at that point up is if i put in the little by single month one and you're going to 99, you met and the phone might not be. so i'm just getting the bubble wrap them up a 40 something because if they had some sort of problem, if we can't get a handle on the pollution, we're going to have a huge problem soon. group out there won't be any life left in the river. so have i
3:47 am
resolved even now most of the rivers and the former province of good tongue are contaminated. got the view, so not just here, but in key rules plus the practically everywhere of my natural resources. is this assuming a lot? yes, a problem is also the most can we don't watch out the, but this country's going to have an ecological and toxicological scandal. at a for table is the dates of the land of 1000 length. it's not just time to some of the largest oil reserves in units. it's also one of the continents most important sources of fresh water. a resource that could be threatened by mining in 2012, 1000, take to the rivers and lakes were destroyed when toxic sludge was released from the salt come on line, which belonged to the tennessee fire mining company. public pressure led to the
3:48 am
mines closure until the tariff found the group to close the software ration. 10 years later, victims of the disaster still waiting for compensation. years. i said, well, what's the stay to the length of the killed to our lake here? yes, in the money, so hopefully it's not as bad as lucky. i'll be right now. really name because in italy, feel about that. it's full of algae again in the fall of 2015, it was really bad. and for a few years now it's been getting worse again the last we had to take up and that's it would have been a waste of work otherwise doing today. i see, but also i still wish and not the only just diffused really me. yes, a separate catching so few now that it doesn't even cover a calm that has some quantity of force. so think of the many ethical guy after the kids to suck a base and leaked. nobody wanted our fish anymore. not even for free. fishing was just about to die, but ended on for about 3 or 4 years now there's beneficial guns and we really got
3:49 am
serious reservations about selling them out of the stubs and wholesalers, having taken professionally, caught fish for years anyway, suicide, now you've always got to be going to cold hearings, yona and yeah, if you want to call it that, you will, it will probably continue at the beginning of december and the district court goes, the 1st steering is over on and the administrative court is also involved. i think the goal is to own, of course. and then what do you have to say about the hearings? and i do have personally, i live to see the day they make a ruling model. they have done some at any rate in new york, and we've already been suffering as a result of the damage for 10 years and need or another way of doing a war of attrition through y'all say own so i could say that on the now that terra firma has taken over most of the insolvency, each one of the defendants has a team of 2 or 3 well known lawyers as of yet, i don't see any get out on really,
3:50 am
they've got ever said h p. p. partners and the most expensive law firms in the country. so that, and i'll just keep on fighting and fighting, but i'm not going to settle for it. right? that's understandable. it's unfair and wrong to your bryan most of the one and lost his case. even though he had expired reports that shows what the pollution due to the fish in the like how he earns his living in a cell, the victims, i'm not finding an appeal because they can't afford this environmental activist, mika flush knows all the details of the 2012 dis hasta, he's outraged by the negligence of the minds for my own now. and it's among those who called for it's kotia. we're very concerned about that data problem at that time. what's called the bottom line is very concerned about the same box to the waters. monday's day that, that it's a bali jane and the most environment,
3:51 am
the friends of mine in the world. and they don't release any ways whether it's that that was those way or the marketing lines. the demo, both all edition is a regional opponent. they send send people. that's why they so ship all of these huge mine the reason for the bankruptcy, i guess uh many and i, i think i'm not the right person to to go to wait until they bought the basic setting. you know, with the idea. so what they invested to, to the side, i have an all proven to be the right ones. they did me some a very important elements, like well, the treatment, the so all the rain and well thought this raining in this area and thought to use
3:52 am
the, the, the, or, or the rock and needs to be collect data to reflect before it can be discharged. back to the nature of these kind of facilities, they did not plan originally unfortunately, so that the must have been one of the reason that they did find into the process with the, with what the and the 1st thing we had it was thought to be a bit of the a sense of what the statement plot this as an own best available text. and let's say a sense of what the treatment plans, as well as then at each discharge pipeline from the since the treatment plant, all the way to the bic, what the waste. and we started to purify the water for the weekend when it's raining heavily. it doesn't impact the it doesn't innovators, the step, the production of a be purified, the work done and really isn't violating, or which, which is what they promoted, that the they, they. ready invested on and built here was not the operating steadily
3:53 am
during this time. so we have done a lot of a lot of the development to, to make it for, you know, in a stable manner. but the basic ideas are the same as us. they have nature flow doesn't trust industry clients. neither does he already know. tune in a biochemist and the chairman of the n g. a mining watched finland the monitoring the surroundings of the mind, operations by terra firma. that's foaming down there. from line. seen of it at the top line is used as a precipitation agent for the metal. it's of also stuckey. that's with farming here . there was a big leak here. yeah, yeah that, that, that sounds that said he met the oh, so how soon are you here? the settlement is contaminated, underwater quality is poor. official analysis found evidence of heavy metals reform a has admitted that there was a leak in 2020. the claims that this was then sealed,
3:54 am
