The iTSCi minerals traceability and due diligence Programme is pleased to announce the appointment of US law firm Foley Hoag, LLP as the iTSCi Programme Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is available to deal independently with disputes or appeals between organisations working on the Programme and its Members. This offers a method of finding a solution to any on- going discussions on, for example, membership eligibility or expulsion, once all other efforts have failed. The Ombudsman is entirely independent and neutral, and practices informally outside the normal management of the Programme. |
