There is increased awareness of violence and human rights violations in the mining of certain minerals (gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten) from an area in central Africa including the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.

CFTC is committed to continuing to operate in a socially responsible manner and expects suppliers throughout our supply chain to supply products and materials from socially responsible sources.

We have informed our suppliers on the Conflict Minerals Rule and reporting requirements. Suppliers have been directed that they must continually undertake practical due diligence within their supply chains to identify the sources of these minerals contained in the products they supply to us.

If we learn that supplied products contain Conflict Minerals, we will report in accordance with the law and work with our suppliers and customers to determine the best course of action.

冲突矿产的声明

人们日益认识到，在包括刚果民主共和国在内的非洲中部地区和周边国家开采某些矿物(金、钽、锡和钨)的暴力行为和侵犯人权行为。

CFTC致力于在社会中继续经营负责任的态度，并期望整个供应链的供应商提供产品和材料来自社会责任的来源。

我们已经通知供应商冲突矿物规则和报告要求。供应商已经得到指示，他们必须在他们的供应链中持续进行实际的尽职调查，以确定他们供应给我们的产品中包含的这些矿物质的来源。

如果发现供应的产品中含有冲突矿物，我们将依法进行举报并与我们的供应商和客户合作，以确定最佳的行动方案。
