Conflict-Free Minerals Statement
The term “conflict minerals” is defined as columbite-tantalite (from which tantalum is derived), cassiterite (tin), wolframite (tungsten), and gold mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses, mostly in the eastern areas of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo (DRC). These minerals are refined into tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), gold (Au), cobalt(Co), and Mica, respectively, and are used in electronics and other products.
Being a global corporate citizen, Cymmetrik is committed to assure responsible and conflict free sourcing of minerals. We also demand our supply chain partners shall strictly adhere to our sourcing policy to assure that:
- The tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, cobalt and mica used in the products they supply does not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
- Suppliers shall exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of these minerals and commit to a DRC conflict-free sourcing policy.
