Conflict Minerals Act

The Conflict Minerals Act requires companies to investigate and disclose whether their products contain minerals like tin, tungsten, tantalum, or gold that originate from regions with armed conflicts, particularly in Central Africa. The goal is to promote transparency and prevent funding of violence and human rights abuses through the mineral trade. Companies must report their sourcing practices to ensure their supply chains are free from conflict minerals, encouraging responsible sourcing and ethical practices throughout the industry.
