Case Study: Multinational Electronics Producer achieves 70–80% faster Conflict Minerals compliance and streamlined supplier risk management with Benchmark Gensuite

Multinational Electronics Producer Increases Compliance and Efficiencies with Supplier Risk Solutions + Expert Advisory Services

Multinational Electronics Producer, operating 200 manufacturing facilities in 40 countries with 28K+ global suppliers, struggled with a decentralized structure that made it difficult to standardize supplier risk criteria, consolidate supplier communications, and meet regulatory requirements like the U.S. SEC Conflict Minerals Disclosure. To tackle these challenges, they engaged Benchmark Gensuite and deployed Product Steward, Supplier Portal, and the Modern Slavery/Anti-Human Trafficking Reporting Model to centralize supplier data, streamline outreach, and automate compliance tracking.

Benchmark Gensuite implemented digital data collection, standardized supplier engagement, and automated compliance determinations, and—working with partner Levin Sources—conducted risk assessments and due diligence on refiners and smelters. The solution delivered global coordination across nine business units and 28K+ suppliers, heightened due diligence on four refiners of concern, and increased efficiency in SEC Conflict Minerals compliance by 70–80%; the organization is now expanding its work with Benchmark Gensuite to meet German Supply Chain Act requirements.
