GAM has achieved another milestone in the furtherance of its leadership role in due diligence and responsible minerals trade: following September 2023 audits, RMAP-RMI has determined GAM Aizu, Japan and Boyertown-Pennsylvania, USA facilities conformant to its audit standard for 14 consecutive years.
To earn RMAP conformance status, a company must successfully undergo a rigorous third-party audit of its smelting operations. The audit includes validating evidence of: adherence to the 5-steps Due Diligence Guidance of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), acceptable reasonable country of origin evaluation, mine of origin and chain of custody documentation, and verification of scrap sources among other criteria.
"These successful audits put GAM in a unique position to continue driving responsible business practices throughout its supply chains. We will continue working with industry, government and civil society partners to maintain verifiable mine-to-market channels for responsibly sourced minerals," said Jean-Paul Meutcheho, GAM Director of Sourcing and Corporate Sustainability-ESG.
The RMI-RMAP conflict-minerals due diligence audit program is led and supported by a cross section of industries (e.g., Electronics, Aerospace, and Automotive), governments, and other stakeholders. Downstream companies rely on the conformance of smelters like GAM to comply with Section 1502 of the US Dodd-Frank Act, EU conflict minerals regulations, and other applicable conflict-free minerals' regulations.
"GAM leadership role in minerals due diligence together with its Safety Health and Environment-SHE excellence (OSHA VPP certification of our US facility) are key components of its corporate Environmental Social and Governance-ESG program. GAM issued its first ESG-Sustainability Report Update (https://globaladvancedmetals.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/GAM-ESG-Update_May-12-2023-v11A.pdf) in May 2023 and will continue to strive for the adoption and implementation of responsible business practices throughout its global operations," said Andrew O'Donovan, GAM CEO.

New Pharma AI Findings Reveal the Real Barrier to Scale: Execution, Not Innovation15.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND AND WARSAW, POLAND / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / Pharma companies are no longer struggling to identify AI opportunities - they are struggling to scale them. New findings from Lingaro, based on research with 150 senior pharma and life sciences leaders, show that AI has strong strategic visibility across the sector, yet most organizations lack the foundations needed to turn early momentum into consistent business impact. Nearly 60% of respondents say their AI strategy lacks clear ownership, highlighting a gap between leadership ambition and operational accountability. Without defined business ownership and success metrics, many companies remain stuck between experimentation and scaled delivery. Data is another barrier. According to the research, 67.3% of pharma leaders report fragmented or only partly reliable data. In a sector where commercial, medical, regulatory, and patient data often sit in disconnected systems, poor data quality can delay decisions, reduce
