Conflict Minerals Rule for Apparel Importers: Next Steps

Rescheduled to Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 2:00 PM EST (11:00 AM PST)

Online via Go2Webinar

Starting in 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is requiring all reporting companies to disclose whether they utilize conflict minerals--gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten--in their products. The SEC’s new rule poses particular challenges for apparel producers and retailers, who don’t directly control the acquisition of their inputs that may include conflict minerals. 

As part of USA-ITA’s continuing efforts to help member companies comply with the SEC’s reporting requirements, please join Dynda Thomas and David Spooner of Squire Sanders for a webinar on the SEC’s conflict minerals rule. Our webinar will provide member companies with a refresher on the rule, with a focus on the particular challenges facing the retail and apparel industry, and convey how other industries are moving to comply with the rule’s reporting requirements. 

NOTE: Because one of our presenters is ill with the flu, the webinar will be rescheduled to the following week, Tuesday, March 5th. We apologize for the inconvenience!
