Conflict Minerals Management
The U.S. Congress approved the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010. According to Article 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced the “Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” in August 2012. This Article aims to solve the topic of human rights abuses linked to mining operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). Minerals mined from this area are called “3TG” including Tin (Sn), Tungsten (W), Tantalum (Ta), and Gold (Au).
As a distributor of semiconductor components, WPG Holdings did not participate in the product manufacturing process. In order to express the requirements regarding conflict minerals, WPG Holdings is committed not to directly or indirectly purchasing any conflict minerals from any source containing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries. In the future, WPG Holdings will continue to conduct supply chain due diligence annually to meet supply chain management targets. With the aim of implementing the requirements of WPG Holdings on conflict minerals, we tracked the information by regularly reviewing the suppliers’ management policy of conflict minerals, whether they carry out investigations on the country of origin of minerals and other public information; and disclose the results of the investigation to the public, to implement WPG Holdings’ commitment to supporting the use of legal, conflict-free minerals.
After the disclosure of the information related to the conflict minerals tracked by WPG Holdings Among the key suppliers, the percentage of publicly disclosed qualified smelters was 77% (23 out of 30 suppliers), and among these 30 key suppliers, the average percentage of raw materials from qualified smelters was 98.7%. 3 of the 7 key suppliers that do not publicly disclose the percentage of qualified smelters are RBA members and are stated on the website.
Note: The average proportion of raw materials from certified smelters = (certified proportion announced by key suppliers *number of key suppliers with individual certified proportions) / number of key suppliers who have disclosed certified proportions.
