Corporate Social Responsibility
Hilscher's policy on conflict minerals
In addition to protection of the climate and environment, we also focus on social sustainability beyond our corporate boundaries. This includes, among other things, renouncing the use of what are known as conflict minerals such as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries. Resources from this region can be used to finance violence and conflict. We require our suppliers to take reasonable steps to ensure that the products delivered to us contain only conflict-free substances.
The Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) is a free, standardized reporting template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) that facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and the smelters and refiners being utilized. The template also facilitates the identification of new smelters and refiners to potentially undergo an audit via the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP).
