Is your phone tainted by the misery of the 35 000 children in Congo's mines?
More than half of the world’s supply of cobalt is mined in the “copper belt” of the south-eastern provinces of DRC, a 2016 report by Amnesty International says.
Any company sourcing cobalt from DRC must establish an independent, third-party system of verification that all mineral supply chains are cleansed of exploitation, cruelty, slavery, and child labour.
There is little we can do as consumers at present, apart from refusing to buy their products until they take sufficient action.
