EICC and GeSI members have expressed a commitment to taking steps to enhance social and

environmental performance related to the supply chain for minerals used in the products of members

companies. This research project will investigate the supply chain for tin, tantalum, and cobalt used in

electronics. The purpose is to 1) create a picture of the electronics supply chain for these metals; 2)

ascertain whether companies in the supply chain have codes of conduct addressing social,environmental, health, and labor issues; and 3) identify the challenges of collecting this data and

consider ways to enhance and maintain transparency of the supply chain.

The goal is to create a transparent and understandable representation without identifying

customer/supplier relationships or business termscommercial relationships and terms will be held in

confidence.

Please fill out the information (15+ questions) in this survey and submit at your earliest convenience. If

you have questions about this survey, please contact Jennifer Peyser at RESOLVE ([email protected],

+1 202-965-6215). Thank you in advance for your time.

For some questions, you will be asked to email documentation (e.g., codes of conduct) to RESOLVE.

Please send all documents to Jason Gershowitz at RESOLVE ([email protected]).
