Clients can engage Green Status Pro for either a complete solution or to perform specific tasks.
Companies typically engage Green Status Pro when the compliance executive responsible for Conflict Minerals Reporting departs or a strategic customer demands the company professionally conduct and document its Conflict Minerals Reporting procedures.
For new Clients, the most important deliverable is their CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.) Prepared by Green Status Pro, Clients submit this CMRT to their customers with confidence.
An even more valuable deliverable is the consulting expertise delivered on an ongoing basis.
• Collaboratively managing the Conflict Minerals Program with our Client;
• Providing Management with the information it needs to respond to new regulatory and customer requirements;
• Responding to our Clients’ Customers’ Issues;
• Automating the Conflict Minerals Compliance Infrastructure.
The most common challenge to implementing a successful Conflict Minerals Reporting Program is Data Gathering. Obstacles include: a) identifying the relevant suppliers; b) empowering company representatives to obtain supplier CMRTs; c) locating the supplier resource that has the authority to release a CMRT; and d) due diligence follow-up with suppliers whose CMRTs contain red flags and errors.
Outsourcing Data Gathering to Green Status Pro removes much of the friction that results when suppliers and customers disagree on how to respond to regulatory obligations placed on one but not both.
Finally, Green Status Pro generates sophisticated RCOI and Due Diligence Reports by combining the information gathered from the Supplier Survey CMRTs and RMI published data. Sample reports include:
• Client’s CMRT;
• RMI Conformance Status of each Source Smelter;
• OECD-required Supplier Risk Assessment;
• Supplier-Smelter Map Identifying Supply Chain Risks;
• Supplier-Smelter Reporting Analytics;
• RCOI and Due Diligence Procedure and Results Documentation.
