Conflict Minerals
Conflict Mineral Policy
At RMF, we are committed to social justice, economic responsibility, environmental protection, and sustainable development.
As part of this commitment, we ensure that the tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (“conflict minerals”) used in our products do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups responsible for human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adjoining countries, or other conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
We conduct due diligence on our supply chains in line with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
Our suppliers are expected to:
- Follow the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct
- Source exclusively from smelters or refiners approved by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) or an equivalent program
- Apply due diligence in their supply chains based on OECD guidance and RBA standards
We actively monitor supplier compliance with these expectations and, wherever possible, source minerals only from suppliers that meet these requirements.
