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.

Meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
