Bid for easier-sourced, conflict-free tungsten

摘要

The Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) and the Tungsten Industry Conflict Minerals Council (TI-CMC) have announced a joint programme to make it easier for companies to source conflict-free tungsten. Through the new framework, members of the TI-CMC may now choose to become validated as Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) conflict-free tungsten smelters under the CFSI's Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP). This marks the first time the CFSI and TI-CMC can provide information about conflict-free tungsten smelters. The deadline for US reporting requirements on conflict minerals is 2014.
