A five-step framework for identifying and responding to the risk of contributing to conflict, human rights abuses or bribery. It underpins the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation and most refiner sourcing programmes.

What it requires
- Strong company management systems
- Supply chain risk identification
- A risk response strategy
- Independent audits at refiners and smelters
- Annual reporting
How POINT helps
POINT captures this evidence in the field and keeps it linked through every handoff, so it's ready to share when a buyer, auditor or authority asks.
- Mine site identification and location
- Chain of custody from mine to export
- Quantities reconciled at each handoff
- Taxes, fees and royalties paid
- Red flag assessments and responses
