Case Study: Newell Brands achieves 50% reduction in conflict minerals reporting costs and 20–25% higher supplier response rates with Source Intelligence

Newell Brands - Customer Case Study

Newell Brands, a global consumer-goods leader focused on ESG, faced mounting challenges managing conflict minerals reporting using time-consuming in-house processes that produced low supplier response rates and pulled internal resources away from core work. To solve this, Newell Brands partnered with Source Intelligence to find a turnkey, user-friendly compliance solution to automate supplier outreach and improve international communication.

Source Intelligence implemented an automated conflict-minerals compliance platform with translated communications and multiple supplier communication paths, increasing outreach frequency and engagement. As a result, Newell Brands saw supplier response rates rise 20–25% and cut conflict minerals reporting costs by 50%, while gaining the timely data needed for SEC reporting.
