Responsible Mineral Sourcing

We have been working on conflict minerals because we consider human rights abuses and environmental destruction by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries to be serious problems, and we are concerned that they are a source of funding for these armed groups.
In recent years, responsible mineral sourcing, including minerals originating from conflict and high-risk areas, has been increasingly targeted in order to curb not only conflict but also complicity in serious human rights abuses or environmental destruction, and then we will work to promote responsible mineral sourcing by eliminating from our supply chain tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, cobalt, mica, and other mineral issues related to conflict, human rights abuses, environmental destruction, and other risks and irregularities.
