Question:
Why does a Company need to be 3TG compliant if it is not subject to the SEC Conflict Minerals rule?
Answer:
Companies not subject to the SEC rules disclosures are driven entirely by customer requirements, unless they fall in scope of the EU Conflict Minerals Rules, EU non-financial reporting rules, or various U.S. State government procurement rules.
The conflict minerals survey obligations and programs are driven by customer requests; as long as customers are still requesting, the need for a program will continue to exist.
