Your company knows it has to do something to prepare a 2013 report regarding conflict minerals. You've been asked to find out what and how, but you're not sure what needs to be done. There are seeming conflicts in the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) compliance mandates — for instance, if your smaller upstream distributors don't have to disclose their conflict minerals yet, how are you supposed to find out (from them) whether there are regulated substances affecting your supply? Further, some rule definitions are vague. And while your company's supply transparency is good, it isn't granular enough to be able to confidently disclose that a certain quantity of tungsten, say, came from a certain mine or smelter in or near the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa — that kind of detail isn't even available. One possible solution? Some compliance professionals just hope the SEC isn't too hard on companies that do nothing.
