published its 2026 supply chain reports. Two of them, People and Environment in Our Supply Chain and The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights Mapping of the Apple Supply Chain mention IRMA and why they became an IRMA member company. In the UNGP report they say:

Along with conducting our own supply chain due diligence, we work closely with third-party audit programs. […] When identifying risks at the smelter, refiner, and mining levels, we defer to the highest standard. In 2025, we joined the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA). IRMA is a multi-sector initiative that is equally governed by representatives of mining stakeholder and rights-holder groups. IRMA transparently and independently assesses social and environmental performance at mine sites using an internationally recognized standard that has been developed in public consultation with rights-holders and stakeholders.
