The International Tin Association (ITA) has launched the Responsible Tin Network to drive collaboration and improve ESG and responsible sourcing practices across the tin supply chain.
The platform offers direct engagement with key industry stakeholders to share ESG strategies, leverage Tin Code reporting, and develop scalable supply chain solutions.
Participation is free until June 2026, providing early members the opportunity to shape the network’s priorities and influence industry-wide standards.
The International Tin Association (ITA) has announced the launch of the Responsible Tin Network, a new industry-wide initiative aimed at accelerating collaboration, closing critical engagement gaps, and advancing responsible sourcing and ESG performance throughout the global tin supply chain.
Over the past year, ITA’s Sustainability team has engaged with stakeholders across the value chain—from smelters and recyclers to leading global brands—highlighting the urgent need for a structured, action-oriented platform.
“These discussions highlighted a clear need for a focused, action-driven platform to tackle shared challenges and build more transparent, resilient supply chains,” the ITA stated.
The Responsible Tin Network responds directly to rising regulatory pressures and customer expectations regarding supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing. “There has never been a more important time for the tin industry to come together,” the ITA said. “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.”

Participating companies will gain access to a shared platform where they can:
Share ESG learnings and strategies in real time
Promote the use of Tin Code reports and independent audit outcomes
Co-develop practical, scalable solutions for industry-wide impact
Strengthen relationships across the global tin supply chain
The initiative is anchored by the Tin Code, ITA’s established framework for responsible tin production and sourcing. By adopting this framework, members will be better equipped to enhance traceability, respond to due diligence requirements, and explore circular economy opportunities using recycled tin.
Participation in the Responsible Tin Network is free of charge until June 2026. Early registration offers companies a unique chance to influence shared goals and shape the industry agenda from the beginning.
