Frequently asked questions.

About The 3TGs

What does “3TGs” stand for?

3TGs refer to Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, and Gold — minerals often linked to conflict-affected areas. We help companies comply with regulations governing these minerals, as well as extended minerals and other global product compliance requirements.

What services do you offer?

We provide end-to-end compliance support, including supplier outreach, data collection, Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) completion, regulatory consulting for REACH, RoHS, PFAS, and tailored compliance program management.

Who do you work with?

We work with businesses of all sizes from startups to Fortune 500 companies, across sectors like electronics, automotive, manufacturing, and consumer goods.

Compliance & Process

What is a CMRT and why do I need it?

The Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) is a standardized reporting form developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) to help companies disclose the use of conflict minerals in their supply chain. It is a key requirement for SEC and other regulatory filings.

Do you contact my suppliers on my behalf?

Yes. We handle supplier outreach, follow-ups, and education, ensuring you get accurate, timely responses to meet your compliance deadlines.

How long does the compliance process take?

Timelines vary depending on supply chain complexity, but most short-term projects take 2–6 weeks from kickoff to final report. A full compliance program would involve ongoing outreach until we achieve the goal that you have set.

How much do your services cost?

Our packages are tailored to your needs. We offer three main tiers: Compliance Essentials, Compliance Plus, and Compliance Pro with custom pricing based on supplier count and regulatory scope. We offer free quotations based on your goals.

Do you offer one-time projects or ongoing support?

Both. You can hire us for a single compliance cycle or retain us for ongoing supplier engagement and regulatory monitoring.

Data Security & Trust

How do you protect my supplier data?

We follow strict data protection protocols, using secure platforms for all data transfers. Your information is never shared with unauthorized third parties.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. We’re happy to sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement before starting any project.
