Conflict Minerals originating from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries are sometimes mined and sold by armed groups to finance extreme levels of violence. These minerals can make their way into the supply chains of the products used around the world, including those in the electronics industry. As part of Phoenix Flow Measurement’s commitment to respecting human rights, it is our goal to use tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (3TG) in our products that do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries while continuing to support responsible mineral sourcing in the region.
Conflict Minerals are defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, regardless of whether these minerals finance conflict in the DRC or adjoining countries. The SEC require U.S. companies to disclose the presence and country of origin of 3TG that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.
Phoenix Flow Measurement endeavours to ensure that our U.S. suppliers are aware of this issue, and can trace 3TG back to their origin in order to ensure responsible sourcing.
