BHRRC response to Global Witness expected

By 3p Contributor

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre is releasing its full compilation of responses to concerns raised by Global Witness about the discrepancy between companies proclaiming their support of US conflict minerals legislation while their business associations were lobbying against the legislation. In May, a Global Witness paper raised concerns about industry efforts to undermine implementation of the  US Dodd-Frank Act’s section 1502, on ‘conflict minerals’.  Dodd-Frank 1502 will require companies registered with the US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) to carry out supply chain due diligence on any minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries.
