Automate CMRT, EMRT & AMRT in one clear workflow

Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Reporting without the manual overhead

RMI templates (CMRT, EMRT, AMRT) are simple - on paper. In practice supplier delays, broken Excel files, unclear answers, and version mismatches make minerals reporting far more complicated than it needs to be. beSirius centralizes your templates, pre-fills data, validates smelter lists, and manages supplier collaboration so you can complete RMI templates quickly and confidently.

What are RMI templates?

RMI templates are standardized Excel forms created by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to help companies report on the minerals they use and the smelters/refiners involved. They include:

CMRT – Conflict Minerals Reporting Template

Used to report tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG).

EMRT – Extended Minerals Reporting Template

Used for cobalt, mica, and many battery-critical minerals (graphite, lithium, nickel, copper).

AMRT – Additional Minerals Reporting Template

A flexible template for up to 10 minerals of concern not covered elsewhere.

Companies use these templates to answer customer requests, support due diligence, and comply with major regulations.

Why is RMI reporting difficult (and messy)?

RMI reporting becomes time-consuming because:

01

Supplier data is incomplete or sent in the wrong template version

02

Excel macros and checks break, causing errors

03

Smelter and refiner information is inconsistent

04

Different teams edit different files, creating contradictions

05

Narrative answers don’t match internal policie

06

Updating templates each year takes weeks, not hours
These issues have nothing to do with team capability, they’re caused by outdated tools and fragmented workflows.

How beSirius helps

beSirius centralizes and automates CMRT, EMRT, and AMRT reporting.
With one platform, you can:

Manage all templates in one place

CMRT, EMRT, and AMRT stay version-controlled, organized, and linked to the same data.

Start with pre-filled templates

The system uses your policies, supplier lists, smelter data, and product information to fill large parts of the forms for you.

Work with suppliers without email chains

Suppliers upload files or fill forms online. beSirius checks fields, versions, and logic automatically.

Catch errors before customers do

Incorrect smelter IDs, contradictory answers, and broken validations are flagged instantly.

Keep narratives consistent

Policy-based text blocks prevent mismatched explanations across submissions.

Turn weeks of work into hours

Reporting becomes faster, more predictable, and much easier to manage — even across regions and subsidiaries.
