We continue to support sourcing from legitimate mines in conflict-affected areas as a ban would be detrimental to the local population.
We require our suppliers to conduct the due diligence on their own supply chain, determine the origin of the minerals they use and commit to sourcing those materials from sources that are not fueling military conflicts or causing human rights violations and environmental degradation.
Additionally, we require our suppliers to continually improve their practices and promote their awareness and capability through training and regular feedback.
