Associate Membership – for downstream companies

Associate members

Who can join and why?

Associate Membership is open to any company in the downstream supply chain (post smelter level), including metal traders and exchanges, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and retailers.

Through receiving regular alerts on risk, reports on success of mitigation and other information, Associate members are able to perform enhanced due diligence on supply chains, and by contributing a membership fee, also support the sustainable financing of ITSCI, sharing in the cost burden of due diligence through the supply chain.
