Conflict mineral compliance refers to adhering to regulations and standards aimed at ensuring that minerals such as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (often abbreviated as 3TG) are responsibly sourced and do not finance armed conflict or human rights abuses in conflict-affected regions, particularly in central Africa. Key regulations include Dodd-Frank Section 1502 in the United States and the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation. Compliance involves rigorous due diligence processes, supply chain transparency, and reporting to identify the origin of minerals, mitigate risks, and uphold ethical standards throughout the supply chain.
