Case Study: Seagate achieves conflict-free supply chain reporting with Environmental Resources Management (ERM)

Seagate manages conflict minerals with ERM across 75% of Fortune 500 tech companies

Seagate, a global producer of data storage hardware, required a way to eliminate conflict minerals from non-conforming smelters in its complex supply chain to meet strict legal and customer requirements. The company engaged the vendor Environmental Resources Management (ERM) for its product stewardship and data collection services to manage this ongoing compliance challenge.

ERM implemented a solution to collect and track supplier data on mineral origin and smelters, using Seagate’s compliance software to monitor smelter status and follow up on non-conformances. This ongoing effort enabled Seagate to compile its necessary SEC report and meet customer transparency requirements, supporting its journey toward a conflict-free supply chain.
