Signs of a greener spring

Going green has never been more popular, especially around Earth Day. More than a trend, good environmental performance helps build a stronger business.

Conflict minerals ... where do we start?

Conflict minerals — tungsten, tin, tantalum and gold — are fueling some of the deadliest conflicts since World War II.

Most of these materials come from mines in or near the Democratic Republic of Congo.  Armed groups are at war to control profits, worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
