Conflict minerals (such as tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold) used by tech, auto and other hardware and metal goods making companies were being purchased from supply chains going back to conflicts in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In January 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act mandated that businesses over a certain size and operating in California publish a statement on their website detailing their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking. The UK Modern Slavery Act Transparency in Supply Chains clause requires disclosures by companies with a UK registered business and over £36 million in global turnover. This law has driven thousands of companies to look at whether modern slavery might exist in their global supply chains.
