We fully recognize the significant risks associated with mineral extraction, trade, processing, and export in conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs). As a responsible corporate entity, we acknowledge our duty to respect human rights and avoid contributing to adverse social impacts.
INOVANCE Technology commits to adopting the following frameworks for responsible mineral sourcing:
- The "China Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains" (hereinafter referred to as the "China Guidelines") issued by the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters (CCCMC).
- The "OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas" (3rd Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "OECD Guidance").
- The conflict minerals regulations concerning tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) under the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" (hereinafter referred to as the "Dodd-Frank Act").
These standards are incorporated into our supplier contracts and agreements.
We adhere to ethical sourcing practices and strictly prohibit the use of minerals originating from conflict zones. We also require our suppliers to ensure their materials are free from conflict-affected sources and comply with our policy. To enforce this commitment:
- We conduct reasonable due diligence on suppliers to verify their products do not contain conflict minerals.
- Suppliers must provide written certification upon request.
INOVANCE Technology will actively disseminate this policy and implement it across our mineral supply chain in accordance with the China Guidelines and OECD Guidance.
