The Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, a consortium of more than 200 companies and associations, has published the latest update to its Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, a multi-industry tool for tracing the use of conflict minerals in a company’s supply chain, validating smelters, and meeting the Securities and Exchange Commission’s requirements for disclosing those efforts.

CMRT 4.0 includes an updated Standard Smelter List and numerous translation improvements. The free, standardized reporting template also expedites the identification of new smelters and refiners that may potentially undergo an audit through CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program.
