EU supply chain due diligence: Conflict minerals self-certification
This procedure establishes a Union-wide system for importers of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold to certify that their supply chains are responsible. It aims to prevent the trade of minerals that fund armed conflicts and contribute to human rights abuses in high-risk and conflict-affected areas.
The regulation primarily affects importers of these specific raw materials, requiring them to implement due diligence processes and self-certify their compliance to ensure ethical sourcing.
