Conflict Minerals Compliance: Resources to Meet Supplier Due Diligence Requirements
March 8, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Companies have limited options to meet the legal requirements of Dodd-Frank Section 1502. Most companies don’t have human or capital resources to build an internal force to implement the supplier tracing, data collection and reporting as required under the new supplier due diligence process. To date, companies have had two options: 1) hire consultants on an hourly basis to collect supplier data, or 2) purchase 'do-it-yourself' software.
The elephant in the room? Neither of these options accounts for additional resources needed to manage and verify the data.
