Conflict Minerals Policy Statement
SHENZHEN DNS INDUSTRIES CO., LTD is aware that metal minerals mined in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (DRC) may be making their way into the electronics
supplier chain, and that profits from this illegal mining may be fueling human rights atrocities in the
Eastern Region of the DRC. We commits to ensure that the Conflict Minerals in our products do
not directly or indirectly benefit or finance any human rights violations in the DRC
or adjoining countries, and require our supply chain to ensure the responsible sourcing of
conflict minerals which include cobalt material.
However, due to the complexities of the mineral supply chain, we currently implement
inner document of "Conflict Free Minerals Control Regulations" to factory, require our suppliers
comply with relevant federal and international laws in the sourcing of conflict minerals, and
submit the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template(CMRT) to verify the origin of 'Conflict
minerals' used in provided materials, send the CMRT form downstream to sub-suppliers for supply
chain visibility.
'Conflict minerals' includes Tantalum, Tin, Gold and Tungsten, Smelter information from
our supplier's supply chain must be disclosed, using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template
(see below) for any conflict minerals used in, or used in the production of, any parts,
materials, components, or products. However, due to the limited technique, the battery cell
contained the material cobalt, we required battery cell supplier purchase the cobalt material
not directly or indirectly benefit or finance any human rights violations in the DRC or adjoining
countries.
SHENZHEN DNS INDUSTRIES CO., LTD is knowledgeable that a sufficient number
of smelters and refiners have undergone assessment through RMAP, and we expect
our suppliers to use conformant smelters and refiners for the production of any parts,
materials, components, or products.
