A CRMA resilience term for policies developed by an economic operator to reduce supply-disruption likelihood or damage to its activity.
Mitigation strategies are the CRMA policy response to supply-disruption exposure. They can address prevention and damage reduction, but they are not the same as generic sustainability targets, general procurement preferences, supplier codes of conduct, or proof that no supply disruption can occur.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 26. The official definition focuses on policies developed by an economic operator to limit the likelihood of supply disruption to its raw materials supply chain or mitigate damage to its economic activity.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
the policies developed by an economic operator to limit the likelihood of a supply disruption to its raw materials supply chain or to mitigate the damages caused by such a supply disruption to its economic activity

Public draft page. EU Critical Raw Materials Act direct definition; keep source-specific and avoid treating it as a generic global supply-chain concept.
Use this term when documenting how an economic operator prepares for raw-material supply disruption. Useful records may include material criticality, supplier concentration, alternative sourcing plans, strategic stock or inventory assumptions, offtake arrangements, escalation rules, and the evidence used to show that the strategy is connected to a specific raw materials supply chain.
Mitigation strategy language only becomes useful when it is tied to a concrete material, supply-chain boundary, and disruption scenario. Minespider can help connect those policies to supplier records, project or offtake context, strategic-stock assumptions, and evidence updates so the strategy is more than a static risk statement.
