The term “conflict minerals” is defined as columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan(from
which tantalum is derived); cassiterite (tin); gold; wolframite (tungsten);or their
derivatives; or any other mineral from the Democratic Republic of the Congoor an
adjoining country, which are common mineral used by technological products.
Subtron Technology, along with our customers and suppliers, are concerned about
the issue of forced labor and other human rights violations occurring in mining
operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Subtron does not buy,
sell, or otherwise deal with products, components, or materials that contain conflict
minerals, such as gold, tin, tantalum or any other material mined in the DRC. Periodic
reviews with our supply chain and our raw material suppliers are conducted to ensure
that their metal supplies do not come from conflict regions.
In response to the due diligence of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), suppliers whose products containing cobalt (Co) and mica (Mica) are required as well to ensure responsible sourcing of materials beyond conflict minerals and high risk areas.
1. Not using or purchasing materials from DRC. Conflict-free resources.
2. Proactively review material sources for each product that contains Au, Ta, W
and Sn, conform material sources are not imported from the DRC or adjoining countries
from mines controlled by non-governmental military groups.
3. Provide Acknowledgement Statement, and RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and RMI Extended Minerals Reporting Template if products supplied sourcing the same type of materials of conflict minerals.
4. Deliver the concept and request above to its suppliers.
