31. Present: EU REACH is a Huge Deal
European Commission roadmap includes 106 priority SVHC by 2012
“Airbus UK’s director of operations and
compliance, said the cost of REACH had been
evaluated at several million Euro over three
years, with provisions up to hundreds of
millions of Euro over five years”…
“…*He+ said there is a level of ambiguity
because it will depend ‘on the substances that
will finally be added to the candidate list and
in Annex XIV’. Airbus UK has set its 2009
REACH budget at somedifferent conclusions”, Jane’s, September 2009

34. Sustainability Tools –
Best Practices from the Congo’s ICGLR
Lessons Learned from Africa’s International Conference on the Great Lakes
Region (ICGLR) response to Conflict Minerals legislation can illustrate best
practices in approaching supply chain sustainability, specifically risk/reward.
34

35. About the ICGLR
Member States:
Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and
Zambia.
Mission:
To be an effective and dynamic institution which: Coordinates; Facilitates,
Monitors and Ensures the implementation of the Pact and other
initiatives, in order to attain peace, security, stability and development in
the Great Lakes Region.
35

36. Public Pressure Turned ‘Shocking’
SUPPLY SHOCK: “New US legislation regarding “conflict minerals” from the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is likely to push up the price of tantalum
oxide as it could lead to a supply squeeze, Africa-focused Globe Metals &
Mining…”
Mining Weekly, July 2010
DEMAND SHOCK: “Compliance and our reputation as an ethical
company [is our risk exposure]. Our benefit is to make our customers’
lives easier. End consumers shouldn’t be burdened with the task of
discerning which products are ethical.”
Supply & Demand Chain Executive, November 2010

37. #1 Act Immediately: Design Cycles Exceed
Regulatory Timelines in Most Scenarios
37

38. #2: Continuity as Supplier to Market, not
“Compliance”, is Your Business Case
38

39. #3: A Platform of Transparency is Key in
the Sustainable Supply Chain Generation
39

40. #4: Standardizing Supply Chains Lowers
Risk and Cost; Improves Time-to-Market
40

41. CONCLUSION
Not merely “Compliance” but…
… a matter of continuity and survival
as a supplier to global markets.
