Responsible Sourcing of Minerals and Materials

On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) published regulations implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Act”) governing Conflict Minerals. The Act requires companies to perform due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals contained in their products. As a family of companies subject to this regulation, having an affiliate that is a US issuer of securities governed by the SEC, we adopt this policy to guide the implementation and maintenance of its Conflict Minerals program. In addition, since the adoption of the Act, efforts to expand disclosure of any minerals or materials sourced from conflict affected areas (commonly referred to as “Conflict Minerals”) used in the production of any product(s) have expanded globally.
We strive to have a Conflict Free supply chain – meaning that the metals and materials in our supply chain are sourced in an ethical manner that does not promote armed conflict or inhumane treatment – we are also committed to sourcing products and materials from non-conflict sources.
We request our suppliers to have due diligence processes in place to identify the source of the metals and minerals contained in their products, and that those sources do not support conflict and violations of human rights.
Our attachment to this commitment is communicated to our customers by our CMRT declaration, which states that we conduct business with suppliers who share our commitment to high ethical standards and operate in a responsible and ethical manner.
Platinadora Bajas’ commitment to a Conflict Free supply has been included as a policy in all our purchasing orders requesting our suppliers to certify that all metals and chemicals are sourced in conflict free countries.
