Win-Tact announced a conflict-free minerals declaration to jointly save the planet.
Conflict Minerals Procurement Policy
01 Sep, 2021As a member of the global electronics industry supply chain, Win-Tact Electronics supports the fulfillment of social responsibility and environmental protection together with our customers, responds to global boycotts, and does not accept the use of metals from conflict mining areas.
What are conflict minerals?
"Conflict minerals" are minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The metals produced include gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), and tungsten (W), which are all metals that must be used in electronic devices. However, mineral transactions in these areas have become the main source of financial resources for local armed insurgent groups, causing serious armed conflicts. During the process of mineral development, many subsidized violence incidents have occurred, and mass murders and human rights violations have been rampant in relevant conflict areas behavior.
Do not use metals from conflict mining areas
Win-Tact is committed to requiring upstream and all raw material suppliers to take the responsibility of society and environmental protection and refuse to use conflict metals from conflict areas. To ensure that supply chain vendors also comply with this policy, the company has required all material suppliers to:
1. When supplying "conflict minerals", support the purpose and goals of the US legislation and the requirements of customers.
2. Unintentionally purchase "conflict minerals" that originate from "conflict areas" and are not certified as "conflict-free".
3. To ensure compliance with these requirements and require our suppliers and their supply chains to take reasonable due diligence to ensure that the specified metals only come from mines and smelters outside the "conflict zone", or "conflict zone" But mines and smelters that have passed independent third-party certification as "conflict-free".
