In accordance with our CSR policies, the Solder Coat Group (Solder Coat Co., Ltd. and overseas affiliated companies) is committed to ensuring that no minerals whose production promotes or involves human right abuses are used in the products we manufacture and sell.
The Solder Coat Group companies procure minerals commonly referred to as "3TG,"—tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold—from conflict-affected or high-risk areas (CAHRAs) exclusively from refiners and smelters certified by independent third parties.
We conduct appropriate assessments within our supply chain based on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) "Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas."
