O-Net recognizes the risk that illegal exploitation and trade of Conflict Minerals may cause violations of human rights and environmental degradation, and the risk of military conflict by directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups.
The products and components of O-Net may contain conflict minerals. We are seeking for a sustainable solution to the issue of conflict minerals to ensure responsible and conflict-free sourcing through legitimate trade and positive development in the affected regions. We commit to drive best industry practice by collaborating with our industry peers through the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative.
We incorporate the principles of this policy into the requirements for our suppliers and conduct due diligence consistent with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. We continue to support sourcing from legitimate mines in conflict-affected regions as a ban would be detrimental to the local population.
We require our suppliers to similarly 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.
This Policy will be reviewed regularly and updated as needed.We want to address concerns quickly and thoroughly. We therefore encourage stakeholders to report suspected violations or legal compliance promptly by contacting us through any of the following channels:
