Conflict minerals present several compliance and sustainability risks, including hidden human rights and labor issues, low visibility into smelter risks, and complex reporting requirements that are constantly evolving. Manufacturers need expert help keeping up and to understand their requirements.

In this “Ask Assent Anything” event, you get an open forum to ask our two responsible sourcing experts any questions you have about your conflict mineral and cobalt requirements and programs. They’ll answer your questions and discuss what you need to know about conflict minerals for the coming year.
