Critical mineral supply chain compliance

Critical mineral supply chain compliance has become one of the most active enforcement and disclosure fronts in Trade & Geopolitical Risk, with the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, and the European Commission Directorate-General for Trade all asserting authority over sourcing, disclosure, and due diligence obligations across lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and related materials. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act's domestic content and free-trade-agreement sourcing thresholds have pushed compliance teams to audit upstream vendor contracts in ways most organizations were not built to handle. Cresthaven is actively monitoring rulemaking, guidance releases, and enforcement signals across all three jurisdictions as this area develops.
