    Natural Resource Governance Institute   (NRGI)

    EU Transparency Register

    688622614637-62 First registered on 09 Oct 2014

    Goals / Remit

    NRGI envisions a world where natural resources enable fair, prosperous and sustainable societies—rather than undermine them. NRGI exists because decisions about how we govern natural resources will determine the wellbeing of people in resource-rich countries, and of the planet.

    We seek to address inequities and power imbalances through informed, inclusive decision-making about the resource and energy sectors. We work in partnership within and across resource-rich developing countries, convening key players, generating credible analysis, building knowledge, amplifying citizen voices, and advancing global standards. We advance policies and practices that are economically sound, politically astute and contextually relevant.

    Main EU files targeted

    NRGI carried out significant past work around payment to government reporting requirements for the extractive industries in the Accounting and Transparency Directives. While we continue to monitor these disclosures and contribute to public consultations on their efficacy where relevant, our focus has shifted toward opportunities that advance climate-risk disclosure standards for the extractive industries, and anti-corruption measures in natural resource supply chains. Working alone and as a member of the Publish What You Pay Coalition, the Raw Materials Coalition, and the Alliance for Corporate Transparency, NRGI is currently engaging in legislative proposals and policies relating to sustainability reporting, due diligence, and critical minerals.
