The Conflict Mineral & Ethical Sourcing Workshop
Do you want to improve your conflict mineral program in 2016? Or maybe you’d like to build one of the best ethical sourcing programs in the country? Take a day out of your schedule on December 3rd to be in Chicago for the Conflict Mineral & Ethical Sourcing Workshop and find out how.
Don’t miss this opportunity to network with industry thought-leaders in the compliance realm. Join hosts Tetra Tech and Assent Compliance, along with a lineup of expert guest speakers, to talk about conflict minerals and ethical sourcing.
Why You Should Be There
Earlier this year, Tulane University’s Dr. Chris Bayer authored a conflict minerals benchmarking study that ranked all 2015 filers based on their compliance scores. From the study we have determined industry benchmarks, best practices and tips to creating top-level compliance programs under Dodd-Frank. These will be discussed throughout the one-day conflict mineral conference, along with actionable guidance and key takeaways for completing conflict mineral reports in 2016.
But that’s not all.
After the legal action taken against Costco this past summer, businesses want to know what their requirements are when it comes to ethical sourcing, including anti-human trafficking and anti-slavery. Throughout the conference our expert guest speakers will discuss new legislation and provide in-depth insights into building a holistic ethical sourcing program. Discussions will center around the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, and the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act 2015.
