This document provides guidance on completing the Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) required by the SEC. It discusses the 5 steps companies must include in their CMR: 1) establish strong management systems, 2) identify supply chain risks, 3) design and implement a risk management strategy, 4) conduct third-party audits of smelters/refiners, and 5) report annually on supply chain due diligence. The document advises addressing each step by describing conflict minerals due diligence processes and activities, such as data collection, validation, and smelter verification. It also outlines general CMR completion timelines and provides examples of other companies' CMR filings.
