Conflict Mineral Reporting
As part of the company’s commitment to building socially responsible and sustainable business practices, Hanon Systems supports international efforts to address this social issue impacting human rights by helping to reduce the trade of such conflict resources that have been linked to financing the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring states.
Doing so requires an understanding of the materials procured and the composition of these end products. The company commits to providing its customers with the annual disclosure surrounding “conflict minerals,” and encourages supplier partners to act on the same requirements by propagating this due diligence throughout the supply chain in an effort to identify the smelter-level used to process such minerals.
