Ecliptek Corporation is concerned that minerals mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries may be making their way into the electronic industry supply chain. Profits from the mining of these minerals have resulted in increased hostilities and human rights violations in the region. These minerals include tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold.
While Ecliptek Corporation does not directly purchase any of the aforementioned minerals, we are committed to ethical practices and full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Ecliptek Corporation is currently implementing system processes and procedures to help ensure that our suppliers comply with our expectations. We are communicating our requirements to our supply base to determine the sources of any Conflict Minerals contained in our products.
Ecliptek Corporation supports the development of independently verifiable supply chain transactions, when available and credible, to document the routes taken and intermediaries involved from mine of origin to final product.
Due to the complexities of the mineral supply chain, Ecliptek Corporation is currently unable to verify the origin for the minerals which are used in our products. We are working closely with our supply base to understand the sources of the metals contained in the product to assure that there are no Conflict Minerals in our supply chain.
Ecliptek Corporation is diligently working to ensure that our supply chain is free of Conflict Minerals and we will continue to provide regular updates regarding our progress on this important objective. Ecliptek has established a Conflict Minerals team that meets regularly to coordinate all company activities and establish company policy. Please contact our Global Customer Support team if you have any questions about our program.
