CSDDD
Critical mineral due diligence.
Conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs) sourcing requires demonstrated diligence. Cobalt, tin, tungsten, tantalum, lithium are flagged commodities.
Industry · Electronics & Semiconductors
The materials inside every device leave a physical trace.
Critical minerals. Fab emissions. Water at scale. Human-rights exposure in raw-materials regions. We monitor all of it across your sourcing footprint.
01 — What regulation requires
Four regulations apply to your electronics supply chain.
CSRD
Fab and supply-chain disclosure.
Semiconductor fabrication is water- and energy-intensive. Site-level environmental data is required for ESRS-aligned reporting.
CBAM
Aluminium and steel inputs.
Where electronics assembly uses CBAM-covered metals, embedded emissions declarations apply.
EUDR
Rubber in cable insulation, paper packaging.
Indirect EUDR exposure through component-level materials. Plot-level evidence required for affected inputs.
02 — Domains applied
The physical domains that matter for electronics.
Water & soil
Water-use intensity at fab sites and upstream chemical operations.
Air quality
Emissions monitoring at fab sites and silicon refining operations.
Carbon
Site-level emissions across the silicon-to-device pipeline.
Human rights proxies
Settlement change and community disruption near upstream mineral extraction, particularly in CAHRA regions.
Deforestation
Indirect exposure through rubber, paper, and packaging materials in electronics manufacturing.
The remaining domains can be activated at any time as your sourcing or operations evolve.
03 — Relevant evidence
Forensic case studies for this sector are in development.
Case studies for this sector are in development. The methodology applied at Brumadinho, Clairton, and Norilsk transfers directly to the physical signatures relevant here. Methodology details are available on request.
