Supply Chain Mapping Project
Attention primary EICC contacts: please forward this Bulletin to the approrpiate person in your company who can help us idenify suppliers.
The Extractives Work Group in conjunction with the GeSI Supply Chain Work Group has contracted with Resolve (consultant) to perform supply chain mapping of tin, tantalum, and cobalt based on the recommendation of the 2008 joint EICC/GeSI study. The scope of work is:
- Create a transparency model to identify companies in the electronic supply chain.
- Determine whether identified companies have a social responsibility code of conduct.
- Identify challenges incurred in collecting this information.
- Provide guidance on a systemic process to maintain the transparency model.
EICC member companies (with paid-in-full 2009 dues) are eligible to participate in this activity at no additional cost. Please complete the supplier template, found HERE, and return it to Grant Feichtinger by Friday, May 15. EICC staff will consolidate the input and identify five suppliers associated with each of the three metals. The information will be used for modeling. Resolve will not have access to the company-supplier relationships identified in the harvesting activity, and no commercial relationships will be revealed. For more information see EICC 2009 Extractives Goals_Final 04Feb2009 and 2009_Research_RFP_17Feb2009. Please contact Grant Feichtinger with questions or concerns.
