ITA launches the Responsible Tin Network to advance ESG and responsible sourcing across the tin supply chain

The International Tin Association (ITA) has launched the Responsible Tin Network, a new initiative created to drive collaboration, close critical engagement gaps, and advance responsible sourcing and ESG practices across the global tin supply chain.

Over the past year, ITA’s Sustainability team has made significant strides in engaging with stakeholders throughout the value chain, from smelters and recyclers to major brand users. These discussions highlighted a clear need for a focused, action-driven platform to tackle shared challenges and build more transparent, resilient supply chains.

As global expectations around responsible sourcing, ESG performance, and supply chain transparency continue to intensify, there has never been a more important time for the tin industry to come together. The Responsible Tin Network is designed to meet this moment by fostering practical cooperation and helping participants stay ahead of rising regulatory and customer demands.

Through this network, companies gain direct access to a collaborative platform where they can:

• Share real-world ESG experiences and navigate emerging challenges
• Promote the active use of Tin Code reports and independent audit outcomes
• Develop scalable solutions that drive measurable impact
• Build stronger relationships across the supply chain

By leveraging the Tin Code, ITA’s comprehensive framework for responsible tin production and sourcing, participants will be better positioned to improve traceability, address current and emerging supply chain due diligence issues, and explore circular economy opportunities through recycled tin.

Participation in the Responsible Tin Network is free until June 2026, with early registration offering companies a unique opportunity to shape joint priorities and influence the industry agenda from the outset.
