Corporate Social Responsibility The Conflict Mineral Policy

Asian Power Devices Inc. cares about the social and environmental issues caused by the raw materials of products and their manufacturing processes. One of them comes from the mineral trading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is the main source of revenue of the local armed rebel groups and has led to serious armed conflicts. It has now made international headlines.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THE CONFLICT MINERAL POLICY

As a good corporate citizen, Asian Power Devices Inc. should naturally fulfill its social duty, respect human rights and continue to observe the issues of conflict minerals; therefore, we perform thorough investigations on our suppliers, to make sure metals like tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W) and gold (Au) were not mined from the Congo and its neighboring countries controlled by said armed groups, and work together with our suppliers through responsible procurement.

  • We demand our suppliers not to purchase and use conflict minerals from conflict areas in the Congo.
  • We demand our suppliers to trace the sources of tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W) and gold (Au) from all products, to make sure these metals are not from “Conflict mining areas.”
  • We demand our suppliers to inform us of any use of conflict metals right away, and propose plans to abolish their use.
  • We demand our suppliers to convey our demands to their upstream suppliers.
