Real programs. Real results.

A mid-market electronics manufacturer supplying components to three major OEM customers was failing to meet annual conflict minerals reporting deadlines. Their internal team had attempted to manage CMRT collection directly, but response rates stalled below 40%. Suppliers were confused by the template, follow-ups were inconsistent, and the data that did come back was riddled with errors: duplicate smelters, incomplete declarations, and company-level responses that couldn't be tied to specific products.

Their largest customer had escalated the issue twice and was considering sourcing alternatives.

The 3TGs took over the full conflict minerals program. We rebuilt the supplier outreach process from scratch: segmented the supplier base by risk tier and spend, drafted custom communication sequences with clear escalation triggers, and launched a structured multi-wave campaign. For non-responsive suppliers, we ran direct phone outreach and executive escalation.

On the data side, we validated every CMRT that came back. Smelter lists were deduplicated, cross-referenced against the RMI conformant smelter database, and flagged for inconsistencies. We applied conservative declaration logic throughout, ensuring the final rollup reflected worst-case reality rather than supplier optimism.

Within the first collection cycle, supplier response rates climbed from under 40% to above 85%. The company delivered a complete, audit-ready conflict minerals package to all three OEM customers before the reporting deadline. The escalation from their largest customer was resolved, and the program has since been retained on a monthly subscription basis for ongoing supplier engagement and annual reporting.

A North American industrial hardware distributor was preparing to enter the EU market with a new product line. They had no existing compliance infrastructure for European regulations and needed REACH and RoHS documentation before their first shipment. The timeline was tight: their EU distribution partner required a complete technical file within two months, and there was no internal team to manage the process.

The 3TGs ran a targeted Full Material Disclosure campaign across the supplier base for the product line. We collected substance-level data on every component and material, screened against the SVHC Candidate List and RoHS restricted substance thresholds, and identified two SVHCs that exceeded the 0.1% w/w threshold in specific subcomponents.

For the flagged substances, we coordinated confirmatory lab testing through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facility, interpreted the results, and incorporated them into the compliance determination. We then packaged the complete technical file: REACH declarations, RoHS declarations, SCIP-ready data, and supporting test reports.

The full technical file was delivered in six weeks from kickoff, two weeks ahead of the distributor's deadline. The two SVHC risks that were identified early prevented potential border holds and customer complaints. The client has since expanded the engagement to cover Prop 65 and PFAS screening for their U.S. product lines.
