Sumitomo Metal Mining

From SMM's 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report:

It is sometimes the case in resource-rich countries, where economic development is often slow or stagnant, that revenues generated by resources are not invested effectively in the country’s development, leading instead to problems such as poverty, conflict and corruption.

These are global issues, and advanced nations and corporations are being called upon to play a part in resolving them. SMM agrees with the objectives of the EITI and has declared its support.
