[Conflict Minerals Management]

Our program seeks to ensure that our products do not contain metals derived from conflict minerals. As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), Wavesplitter collaborates with customers, suppliers, peers and other stakeholders to promote responsible mineral sourcing.

“Conflict Mineral” indicates rare precious metal minerals such as gold (Au), tin (Tin), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), Cobalt (Co) and Mica which are from Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries. Local illegal armed or military groups in order to obtain the benefits of inhumane mining work, so international resistance to the use of conflict minerals for personal gain behavior. In response to international regulations regarding conflicting minerals, Wavesplitter is complying with the laws and regulations governing conflict minerals (Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Section 1502 and OECD Due Diligence Guidance).

Wavesplitter clearly communicates to suppliers not to use from the minerals which are armed conflict, illegal mining and mining in terrible working conditions, the so-called “conflict minerals.” It also requires suppliers to supply Wavesplitter’s products without using the above mentioned “Conflict Minerals” and continuing to carry out a due diligence investigation of existing suppliers’ conflicting minerals in order to enhance the transparency of smelter and refinery information, and expect the entire supply chain to be self- Constraints of action, can have some positive impact on this issue.
