Conflict Minerals Reporting Compliance Services
In August 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a final rule on Section 1502 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010. The rule states that publically traded companies that report to the SEC must disclose if they use conflict minerals in their manufacturing supply chain. The first reporting year is 2013, and the first report is due in May 2014. Conflict minerals are used to produce tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (3TG). The relevant mining areas are the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjacent countries. Purchasing from these areas of heavily armed conflict funds the militia and furthers human rights abuses, and creates significant risks of supply chain interruption.
