No Conflict Minerals are utilised by Daubert Cromwell in the production or manufacture of any part of our product line.
In recent years, there has been an increasing international focus on "conflict minerals" emanating from mining operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries. Armed groups engaged in mining operations in this region are documented to subject workers and indigenous populations to serious human rights abuses, using proceeds from the sale of these minerals to finance regional conflicts.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Section 1502) requires compliance from public companies listed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The framework requires issuers to examine their supply chains to determine if they manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products containing conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.
Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, and wolframite, as well as their "3T" derivatives: tin, tantalum, and tungsten.
Daubert Cromwell is in compliance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. We do not use any conflict minerals in the production or manufacturing workflows of any part of our product line.
