A CRMA threshold term for companies with more than 500 employees on average and over EUR 150 million in net worldwide turnover.
Large company is a CRMA threshold term. It helps identify which undertakings may fall into specific critical-raw-material supply-chain, risk-preparedness, governance, or reporting contexts, but it should not be treated as a general EU company-size definition for every sustainability or product law.
The EU Critical Raw Materials Act defines large company in Article 2, point 29. The threshold combines employee count and net worldwide turnover, so both parts of the definition matter when mapping CRMA applicability.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
a company with more than 500 employees on average and a net worldwide turnover of more than EUR 150 million in the most recent financial year for which annual financial statements have been prepared

In evidence workflows, this term is useful when deciding whether a company-size threshold is part of the CRMA analysis. The relevant evidence may include headcount averages, net worldwide turnover, financial-year timing, and the prepared annual financial statements used as the reference point.
Company-size terms can be misleading when they are treated as generic labels. For Minespider, large company is most useful as a scope and applicability filter: it helps connect corporate identity and financial-year evidence to CRMA supply-risk or governance questions without certifying that a company complies with the wider regulation.
