Due diligence that works.Evidence that holds up.
I advise mineral, smelting, battery and manufacturing teams on RMAP audit readiness, ESG due diligence and EU battery rules. My work turns complex requirements into clear ownership, daily processes and verifiable evidence.
Meet your advisor
I am Alex Xue. I help make supply-chain due diligence operational and audit-ready.
Since 2018, I have focused on responsible minerals and supply-chain due diligence, supporting more than 25 audit preparation and on-site audit engagements. My upstream traceability work spans China, DR Congo and Indonesia. I turn standards into clear ownership, daily processes, data and decisions, with bilingual support for cross-border teams.
- Risk-led, not template-led
- Designed for operational reality
- End-to-end support from diagnosis to audit readiness
What I do
Three connected challenges. One workable due-diligence system.
From audit readiness to day-to-day risk management and regulatory response, the work is shaped around your current stage.
ESG due diligence
Embed human rights, environmental and governance risk into supplier onboarding, assessment, monitoring and decisions.
See service and deliverables ↗EU Battery Regulation
Translate battery due diligence, carbon footprint, recycled content and disclosure requirements into an actionable roadmap.

Professional judgement
Audits do not count documents. They test whether four types of evidence agree.
The same management fact should hold across policy, records, interviews and site practice. This is an illustrative pre-audit view.
Four verification views
01 / Policy
Are responsibilities and controls documented with clear owners?
