Public Statement on Incorrect Information in UN Group of Experts Report (3 July 2025)
Luna Smelter Ltd. wishes to address an incorrect statement included in the Final Report of the UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, dated 3 July 2025. The report inaccurately claims that Luna Smelter was expelled from the ITSCI system due to failure to uphold due diligence standards by October 2024.
This statement is incorrect. Luna Smelter voluntarily resigned from the ITSCI system, and this decision was made public on 19 June 2024. The full statement with our rationale is available here.
Luna Smelter remains fully committed to responsible sourcing and robust due diligence. Our internal Due Diligence System (DDS) is fully aligned with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and was developed based on a comprehensive risk assessment in collaboration with international experts. Our commitment to transparent and ethical sourcing remains unwavering.
We urge all readers and stakeholders to disregard the incorrect reference in the UN report and await its corrected version.
Luna Smelter Ltd.
