Z2's Responsible Minerals module gives electronics OEMs a pre-built CMRT database, automated supplier outreach, and RMAP smelter verification, so your annual Dodd-Frank and EU CMR filings take days, not months.
How It Works
Z2 connects your component BOM to your supplier network's mineral declarations, mapping every 3TG mineral to its smelter of origin, verifying each against RMAP, and generating the documentation your compliance team needs to file.
Z2 ingests your BOM and runs FMD analysis to determine which parts actually contain reportable 3TG minerals, before any outreach effort begins. If your products aren't in scope for Dodd-Frank or EU CMR, you know immediately. If they are, Z2 maps every in-scope component to its Tier 1 supplier and identifies exactly who is obligated to provide CMRT, EMRT, or AMRT documentation.
Z2's pre-built database contains CMRT declarations from thousands of global suppliers, so your coverage doesn't start at zero. For remaining gaps, automated outreach campaigns collect CMRTs, EMRTs, and AMRTs from every in-scope supplier, with structured follow-up cadences that run until full response is achieved. No manual tracking. No lost replies.
Every declared smelter is cross-referenced against the RMAP conformant smelter list in real time, with high-risk smelters and CAHRA-origin minerals flagged immediately. Item Rollup View shows CMRT status at every tier of your product hierarchy. Z2 then generates a customer-branded Conflict Minerals Report with verified smelter coverage rates and CAHRA exposure percentages, formatted for direct SEC Form SD submission.
RMAP Smelter Verification
Capabilities
Z2 runs automated CMRT, EMRT, and AMRT campaigns with built-in follow-up cadences that pursue non-responders until every response is validated and coverage is complete.
Z2 cross-references every declared smelter against the RMAP conformant list in real time, flagging conflict-zone and forced-labor links while mapping each smelter to your suppliers and parts.
Z2 maps mineral origins to OECD-defined conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs), flagging DRC and adjoining-country exposure at the component and BOM level before your auditor does.
Z2 generates customer-branded CMRTs on your letterhead, ready to sign and file via SEC Form SD, compiling smelter verification rates, CAHRA exposure, and RCOI documentation across your full supplier network.
Z2 generates OECD-aligned due diligence and risk assessments that meet EU Conflict Minerals Regulation 2017/821 obligations for 3TG imports, covering Dodd-Frank and EU CMR in one workflow.
Z2 starts every engagement with a pre-populated database of CMRT declarations from thousands of global suppliers, giving you meaningful coverage on day one instead of after a full outreach cycle.
Regulatory Coverage
Z2 maintains a continuously updated database of conflict mineral regulations, RMAP-certified smelter lists, and CAHRA risk designations, kept current as standards and regulations change so your program stays current without manual maintenance.
Use Cases
Z2 consolidates CMRT data from across your entire supplier network, cross-references every smelter against RMAP, and generates a pre-formatted, smelter-verified Conflict Minerals Report, ready to sign and file with the SEC. Your compliance team stops managing spreadsheets and starts managing exceptions.
FMD analysis determines whether your products actually contain reportable minerals before you launch a single campaign. If reporting obligations don't exist, you know it immediately, with no wasted outreach. When they do, Z2 flags unverified smelters, missing CMRT responses, and CAHRA-origin minerals before they reach your BOM.
Automotive and aerospace customers require conflict mineral attestations as a condition of supplier qualification. Z2 generates verified, smelter-backed documentation within hours of a customer request, not the weeks it takes to assemble manually. Your qualification cycle stays on schedule.
Map verified smelter coverage rates, CAHRA exposure percentages, and OECD compliance status directly into your ESG reporting, backed by traceable supplier declarations, not estimates. When an auditor asks for the evidence behind a disclosure, you have it.
CMRT Collection Campaign
Common Questions
Z2 Responsible Minerals starts from an internal database pre-populated with CMRTs, EMRTs, and AMRTs already collected from thousands of suppliers, giving you out-of-the-box coverage before any outreach. Z2’s research team then runs campaigns to gather the remaining minerals reporting documentation needed for full coverage.
Yes. Once supplier documentation is collected, Z2 generates CMRTs formatted with your company letterhead and branding, ready for your team to file with the SEC via Form SD. Z2 produces the report; your authorized filer submits it.
Yes. Alongside the 3TG minerals required under Dodd-Frank Section 1502, Responsible Minerals collects extended and additional minerals reporting templates, including cobalt and other minerals tied to EU and broader due-diligence obligations. The smelter view maps relationships between smelters, suppliers, and your parts.
During campaigning, Z2’s research team flags suppliers connected to smelters operating in conflict zones or linked to forced labor, child labor, or other exploitative practices. The tool tracks conformant, active, and undetermined statuses, with additional categories for RMI members, feeding directly into responsible sourcing decisions.
Yes. Responsible Minerals performs full material declaration analysis to determine whether your products contain minerals that trigger reporting under Dodd-Frank or the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation. This scope assessment establishes what must be reported before you commit to a full outreach campaign.
