Abstract
From the time Intel became aware of the potential for conflict minerals to enter our supply chain, we have responded to this issue with a sense of urgency and resolve. In July 2010, the US Government enacted legislation that requires all US publicly traded companies to file disclosures and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the use of Conflict Minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) in their products. The legislation came about due to serious concerns related to illegal mining contributing to human rights abuses including forced and child labor, theft, extortion, and violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) At its core, the legislation requires companies to identify their materials sources of origin for the four legislated metals. As shown in (Table 1) the uses of the four metals are wide ranging within the electronics industry.
