Going beyond IS compliance
On 29th November 2018, Deloitte’s Responsible Supply Chain practice organized a roundtable discussion to drill deeper to the compliance and beyond-compliance challenges and opportunities of sustainable supply chain management. We asked our speakers to focus on minerals sourcing as in 2021 the EU Regulation on Conflict Minerals will come into force. This will require better transparency and due diligence in the minerals supply chain, and will affect many upstream and downstream companies with some sectors more affected than others, e.g. mining, automotive, electronics, medical device and aerospace industries.
