Case Study: ASM International achieves 100% supplier participation and streamlined conflict minerals compliance with Assent

ASM International - Customer Case Study

ASM International (ASMI), a global supplier of semiconductor wafer process equipment with offices in 14 countries, needed to build a comprehensive conflict minerals compliance program but lacked the technical infrastructure to engage suppliers, validate responses, and manage data. To meet legal requirements and its ZERO HARM! responsible sourcing goals, ASM International selected Assent and the Assent Compliance Platform to automate outreach and data management.

Assent configured a tailored program that automated supplier outreach, centralized secure data collection and validation, and provided 24/7 multilingual support, allowing ASMI to focus more on strategy and supplier engagement. The solution increased supplier response rates, enabled ASMI to contact every critical and strategic supplier in a short time, and achieved the company’s supplier participation goal of 100% — demonstrating measurable improvements in transparency and program efficiency with Assent.
