This report presents the outcome of a joint initiative between ResponsibleSteel and the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) exploring how voluntary sustainability systems (VSSs) can support a just transition in the mining and steel sectors. It aims to capture emerging expectations, highlight areas of alignment and disagreements, and provide a practical foundation for integrating just transition considerations into standards and assurance systems.
