Innopia has always shared the concern of many companies across the electronics industry in ensuring that Conflict Minerals linked with armed groups are not included in its supply chain. This includes tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, or their derivatives that may directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (or adjoining countries).

We expect our suppliers to support our efforts to identify the origin, provide due diligence information and cooperate in confirming that any minerals in our supply chain are “conflict free”. This requires undertaking due diligence in determining the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals that are necessary for the production of our products.

As part of our Conflict Minerals management policy, Innopia follows the following steps:

1.    A parts list indicating whether potential conflict minerals are used in the BOM of each product is prepared by the R&D lab.

2.       The purchasing department is notified of the parts list.

3.       The origin of Conflict Minerals in the product's BOM is confirmed from each component manufacturer.

4.       The source and chain of custody of the mineral is identified by verifying the smelter.

5.     If Conflict Minerals are used, the purchasing department shall request a commitment letter from the parts manufacturer confirming that no conflict-area sourced Conflict Minerals will be used.

6.       The commitment letter shall be attached to the part list containing Conflict Minerals and reconfirmed once a year.

If it is found or suspected that a supplier is procuring non-confirming Conflict Minerals, Innopia will notify the supplier and give it reasonable time to become compliant and submit relevant documentation. If the supplier does not become compliant and submit proper documentation evidencing the change of sourcing of conflict minerals, Innopia may terminate its business relationship with that supplier.
