"The High Price of Copper from Congo: Dutch Investments and Abuses at Africa's largest Copper Mine" 10 December 2025
'This report investigates the human rights and environmental impacts linked to the Kamoa-Kakula copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa's largest copper mine, and the role played by Dutch financial institutions through their investments.
Based on field research and financial analysis, the study reveals serious concerns about water, pollution, forced displacement, lack of community participation, and the criminalisation of peaceful protest, while showing that major Dutch investors have so far failed to meaningfully engage with the companies responsible.
Copper is essential for the global energy transition, but its extractiuon often comes at a high social and environmental cost. International standards such as the OECDGuidelines and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights require financial institutions to prevent and address harms linked to their investments.
This report shows that, in practice, those responsibilities are not being met in the case of the Kamoa-Kakula mine.
- The Kamoa-Kakula mine, operated by Ivanhoe Mines and Zijin Mining Group, has been linked to contaminated drinking water, inadequate resettlement and repression of local activists
- Seven Dutch financial institutions hold more that €300 million in shares and bonds linked to the mine's parent companies
- None of the major investors investigated are conducting effective management with the companies regarding the documented abuses
- Existing grievance mechanisms and community consultation processes are weak, inaccessible or ineffective, leaving affected communities without remedy'
