Fair Finance Asia Calls for Stronger Equitable Governance and Benefit Sharing in ASEAN's Critical Minerals Trade and Finance
- A Fair Finance Asia and Profundo report says ASEAN member states are often excluded from value chains built on their critical minerals.
- The report found that agreements often lack local-benefit clauses, sustainability standards, and fair value sharing, while source countries export raw minerals for overseas processing.
- Fair Finance Asia urged ASEAN governments and financial regulators to support alternatives to extractive development and adopt United Nations principles promoting equity and justice in mineral transitions.
- The report called for finance conditions covering human-rights checks, community consent, transparent benefit sharing, credible emissions cuts, and mandatory safeguards.
