Cobalt Learning Group

The Cobalt Learning Group (‘CLG’) supports members of Cobalt Institute to enhance their environmental and human rights due diligence (EHRDD) efforts, align with international frameworks and explore a just transition for the cobalt industry.

Launched in 2022, the CLG provides companies with a combination of expert guidance, insights from guest speakers, and peer-learning among cobalt practitioners. Through monthly news e-digests, regulatory briefings, thematic deep-dives and in-person workshops, participants explore upcoming legislation, emerging challenges, and share practical insights.
