Conflict Minerals Legislation and Your Company

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the “Conflict Minerals Law,” requires publicly-traded US companies to disclose the sources of certain minerals in their products. The SEC has the responsibility to define the reporting and due diligence procedures. Manufacturers will be required to obtain an audit performed by an independent third party to verify their supply chain.

Because the regulation is under final reconciliation, it is clear that companies, both US-based and overseas, will require detailed knowledge about the composition of its products, the country of origin of conflict minerals, and the supply chain.
