Conflict Minerals Policy
As a good corporate citizen, Hydrotek shall bear its social responsibility,
respect the human rights, pay close attention to conflict minerals issues
continuously, and make efforts to examine its supply chain to assure the metals
sources of, including but not limited to, tin (Sn), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W)
and gold (Au) (hereinafter referred as "Conflict Minerals") are not
drifted from the mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its
neighboring countries (hereinafter referred as "Conflict Regions")
controlled by armed groups. Hydrotek hereby expects its suppliers to comply
with the Electronic Industry Code Conduct and to only source materials from
environmentally and socially responsible suppliers. In support of this, Hydrotek
makes following commitments:
·
Requesting suppliers not to
purchase and use Conflict Minerals sourced from Conflict Regions.
· Requesting suppliers to trace
the origins of the minerals used, e.g. Au, Ta, Sn and W, to ensure that they
are not sourced from Conflict Regions.
· Requesting suppliers to report
immediately with corrective actions if any Conflict Mineral is used in items
supplied to Hydrotek.
·
Requesting to notify their
upstream suppliers of such requirements.
