Conflic Minerals
On August 22, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced its adoption of final rules relating to “conflict minerals” being them: gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten.
The purpose of the Conflict Minerals Rules is to discourage the use of minerals that might be financing the violent conflict within Central Africa, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.
The Italbronze is committed to complying with these rules and the associated guidance.
In support of our commitment to social responsibility, ethical business practices and to comply with the U.S. Conflict Minerals legislation and SEC rules, we have initiated and will continue appropriate due diligence efforts within our supply chain to identify the source of any Conflict Minerals in materials, parts and components we procure to manufacture our products.
Further, we expect our suppliers to adhere to the same principles with respect to their sourcing and supply chains.
