Conflict Minerals Clause Samples
A Conflict Minerals clause requires parties to disclose and, in some cases, restrict the use of certain minerals—such as tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold—that originate from regions associated with armed conflict and human rights abuses, most notably the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. This clause typically obligates suppliers to trace the source of these minerals in their products and to provide certifications or reports confirming responsible sourcing. Its core practical function is to promote ethical supply chains and ensure compliance with legal requirements, such as the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act, thereby helping companies avoid contributing to conflict financing and reputational risk.
