The Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) is a standardized template businesses use to disclose the origin and sourcing of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) in their supply chains, in line with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
SEC registrants directly affected by the Final Rule need to file, but many private businesses complete a CMRT too, because their customers — who are registrants — frequently require conflict minerals disclosures from their own supply chains.
3TG refers to tin (cassiterite), tantalum (coltan), tungsten (wolframite) and gold, plus any other mineral the U.S. Secretary of State determines is financing conflict in the DRC region.
A Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) is the mandatory inquiry process used to determine whether 3TG minerals in your supply chain originated in the DRC region or were sourced from recycled or scrap material.
Minerals not identified as DRC Conflict-Free trigger deeper due diligence, risk assessment and mitigation planning so you can address gaps in your supply chain sourcing.
