This collaboration supports ELL and Enventure’s mutual ambition to empower upstream and downstream stakeholders to successfully and efficiently fulfill their compliance obligations and greater corporate social responsibility mandates.

This collaboration is perfectly timed. An increasing number of companies around the world are contending with current or impending conflict minerals compliance obligations. In the United States, approximately 6000 SEC-reporting companies were required to report their Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry findings by 2nd of June 2014, and many have since been required to conduct additional supply chain due diligence. On March 5th, the European Union proposed regulations for the responsible importation of tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold, which will likely soon place due diligence requirements on EU-based companies. Demand for the high-quality services provided by ELL and Enventure Technology Services is therefore both immediate and ever growing, and this exciting new partnership renders both firms perfectly poised to assist companies fulfill all of their conflict minerals compliance obligations. Enventure has assisted several US corporations to meet the conflict mineral compliance declaration deadline of 2014. Enventure has conducted several supplier education webinars and has audited several thousands of suppliers on identifying the reasonable country of origin of the conflict minerals present in their product lines. There is a big gap in the industry to establish a strong process for due diligence as per the approved global frameworks.
