#### Do more with your conflict minerals data

Businesses worldwide have collected conflict minerals data via [Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRTs)](https://blog.sourceintelligence.com/what-is-the-conflict-minerals-reporting-template)for several years. Most collect the data to [file with the SEC](https://blog.sourceintelligence.com/us-dodd-frank-conflict-minerals-reporting-how-to-gather-cmrts-and-submit-a-form-sd) or to submit the completed CMRT to a customer and then repeat the following year. But you can do so much more!

Join Source Intelligence's Dr. Jennifer Kraus and industry expert Lawrence Heim, Editor at PracticalESG.com as they explore how to leverage conflict minerals compliance programs, the data collection process, and the data itself for purposes beyond Section 1502 & Regulation (EU) 2017/821 compliance, and meeting customer requirements.
