The London Metal Exchange has launched LMEpassport, a centralized digital register that stores electronic Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) and sustainability credentials for LME-listed metals. LMEpassport stores digital versions of the previously paper-based CoAs, which are key specification and quality assurance documents that must accompany shipments of LME metals into and out of warehouses. Existing paper and pdf format CoAs can be easily scanned and digitised on the platform, transforming previously unstructured data into information that can be easily queried and reported on. Metal producers are encouraged to record information in LMEpassport at the point of production, thereby reducing the need for downstream stakeholders to access traditional CoA documents. LMEpassport also enables users to provide disclosures related to metals’ sustainability characteristics on a voluntary basis
