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.

 
  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 the Conflict Mineral Statement. As well as its supplier, submit the RBA/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.
  4. Deliver the concept and request above to its suppliers.
