Today, Responsible Sourcing Network, a project of As You Sow, released its annual report, Mining the Disclosures 2019: An Investor Guide to Conflict Minerals and Cobalt Reporting in Year Six. The report analyzes 215 companies’ supply chain due diligence efforts regarding 3TG conflict minerals — tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold. Disappointingly, the results show an average company score of 40 points out of 100, the same as last year, showing a global lack of desire to improve due diligence practices.
