Responsible mineral sourcing: In recent years, there have been minerals from mines in conflict areas in the Republic of the Congo, including niobium, tantalum, iron ore, cassiterite, wolframite, and gold. These minerals are converted into tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), and gold (Au), resulting in social, environmental, and human rights deterioration. The Company will continue to adopt a conflict-free mineral procurement policy for 3TG, cobalt, mica, and other minerals produced in high-risk areas identified by the OECD and perform due diligence actively. Our due diligence method is in alignment with the OECD’s approach and the corresponding due diligence framework, and we support the RBA’s strategies for and approaches to conflict minerals and have adopted the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template released by RMI to investigate whether our suppliers comply with the above policies as required.
