Conflict Minerals
The mining and trading of conflict minerals has financed the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") and adjoining countries, resulting in major bloodshed (armed conflict) or human rights violations in the region. In 2011, the US Congress enacted the "Dodd-Frank Act" and enacted a decree on conflict minerals in subsection 1502 of the bill. It requires the use of gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co) and mica, namely 3TG minerals to declare whether they use conflict minerals and disclose whether they use conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or its neighboring countries.
In order to meet customer and regulatory requirements and implement corporate social responsibility, Yeong Long Technologies Co., Ltd (aka YEC) has made every effort to manage the supply chain, publicize the "requirement of prohibiting the use of "conflict minerals" and regularly trace the source of gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co) and mica, to ensure that the use of 3TG on YEC products do not come from conflict mineral or blood mining areas and truly implement corporate social responsibility.
