What is the CMRT?

To assist businesses in meeting US regulations, particularly those pertaining to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, Global PCCS provides conflict minerals planning, consulting and auditing services.

Even private businesses that are not directly affected by the SEC's Final Rule are impacted, because its registrants — or their customers — frequently require them to set up conflict minerals compliance plans and disclose information about these minerals in their supply chains.

"Conflict minerals" are specific materials and their derivatives — tantalum (coltan), tin (cassiterite), gold and tungsten (wolframite), plus any other mineral the U.S. Secretary of State determines is financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) region.
