FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Sourcing

Find quick answers to the most important questions about responsible sourcing and how they affect your business.

Responsible sourcing is the practice of managing supply chains in a way that actively promotes ethical, environmental, and social standards. It goes beyond legal compliance by focusing on transparency, accountability, and sustainability throughout the sourcing process.

Companies that follow responsible sourcing principles aim to ensure that the materials and components they procure do not contribute to human rights violations, environmental destruction, or unethical labor conditions. Instead, they seek to build long-term partnerships with suppliers who share these values and commit to continuous improvement.
 

More on responsible minerals sourcing

Responsible sourcing addresses a wide range of social and environmental issues:
 

  • Socially, it helps prevent forced labor, child labor, unsafe working conditions, and wage exploitation within supplier networks. It also encourages respect for human rights and diversity throughout the supply chain.
     
  • On the environmental side, responsible sourcing aims to minimize resource depletion, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation. By identifying and mitigating such risks early, businesses can protect affected communities, reduce their environmental footprint, and strengthen their long-term sustainability performance.

In recent years, many companies have recognized that legal compliance is no longer enough to meet stakeholder expectations. Investors, regulators, and especially customers increasingly demand greater transparency and accountability across supply chains.

As a result, businesses are moving toward purpose-driven responsible sourcing strategies that reflect their values and sustainability goals. This shift helps companies not only avoid reputational and operational risks, but also unlock competitive advantages - such as improved brand trust, better supplier collaboration, and increased resilience in global markets.

 

Materials of concern in responsible sourcing often include tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold (collectively known as 3TGs), as well as cobalt, mica, lithium, and other minerals used in electronics, batteries, and automotive components. These raw materials are frequently associated with conflict zones, environmental degradation, or labor abuses.

Because regulations like the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation and the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act do not cover all risk materials or markets, companies must often act proactively—based on customer expectations and internal ESG standards - to ensure responsible sourcing across all product categories.

A responsible sourcing program typically begins with supplier risk assessment and segmentation. Businesses define sourcing policies, communicate expectations to suppliers, and establish due diligence processes to collect and verify sourcing data. Many companies use digital tools to automate supplier surveys, validate responses, track progress, and report on key indicators.

Ongoing engagement, training, and collaboration are essential to help suppliers improve their practices. By integrating responsible sourcing into procurement, compliance, and sustainability strategies, companies can create more transparent, resilient, and ethical global supply chains.
