紛争鉱物ポリシー

Conflict minerals refer to the mining and trading of certain minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries, which is contributing to funding armed conflicts characterized by extreme violence. Tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W) (3TG), and gold (Au) are commonly known as "conflict minerals," regardless of their country of origin. In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) passed a rule to increase transparency in supply chains regarding the use of conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring countries. The SEC's conflict minerals rule requires SEC registrants who manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing these minerals necessary for functionality or production to disclose the source and status of conflict minerals.

FICER guarantees that all of the parts, components, materials and products supplied by our company with the "Conflict Minerals Policy". Furthermore, FICER demand all FICER suppliers to investigate their mineral sources to avoid using such conflict minerals, including tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W) (3TG), gold (Au), etc. Suppliers are required to follow this practice to fulfill the basic corporate social responsibilities with FICER.
