Sustainable Supply Chain
Definition and Scope “Conflict minerals” refer to metal minerals sourced from regions with armed conflict and human rights violations, primarily including gold (Au), tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), and tungsten (W) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries. These are commonly used in electronics manufacturing. Commitment and Policy As a responsible global enterprise, OSE commits to not using substandard metals from conflict-affected smelters and integrates this into supplier management.
Conflict Minerals Management
- OSE is committed to sourcing minerals from responsible and compliant smelters and refiners and prohibits the use of minerals that directly or indirectly finance armed conflict or human rights abuses.
- OSE conducts due diligence on tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), gold (Au), cobalt (Co), and mica in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
- Suppliers are required to sign conflict minerals declarations and ensure that sourced minerals originate from RMI-conformant smelters and refiners.
- Suppliers are encouraged to extend responsible sourcing requirements throughout their upstream supply chains and avoid directly or indirectly supporting armed conflict, corruption, or human rights abuses.
