The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted the Conflict Minerals provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502 on August 22, 2012. The rule requires publicly-traded companies to disclose annually whether tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (3TG’s) in their products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries and if “Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured”.
In January 2021, the European Union (EU) Conflict Minerals Regulation will go into effect.
