BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC’s Solder Products Value Council is urging tin smelters to become smelters of conflict-free minerals.
The association recommends the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition/Global e-Sustainability Initiative Conflict-Free Smelter program. The CFS is an audit and certification program that will identify and publish lists of smelters that have been certified as using conflict-free minerals.
Under conflict minerals provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, publicly traded companies will be required to submit detailed reports to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on the origin of tin, tantalum, gold, or tungsten in products. The CFS program is expected to benefit the entire supply chain by reducing the burden of complying with conflict minerals regulations.
