Summary:
The LME Discussion Paper on Sustainable Metal Premium Pricing Methodology (PDF) published on 13 October 2025 invites feedback on the proposed methodologies for determining premia for LME-branded metal meeting the premium sustainability threshold traded on Metalshub. Pricing will primarily be based on arm’s length transactions on Metalshub, with bids, offers, or administrator assessments used if trades are insufficient. All data will be reviewed for consistency and integrity, then normalised for commercial factors such as delivery location and contractual terms. The discussion paper is open for feedback until 28 November 2025, with responses helping to shape the final methodology that CPAL will implement and maintain.
