ANZER Conflict Minerals Policy Statement: 

  • ANZER is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values of human rights, ethics, and environmental responsibility.
  • We expect all suppliers to abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct requirements, which prohibits human rights abuses and unethical practices. We also require all suppliers to comply with applicable legal standards and requirements. On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued the final conflict minerals rule under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Conflict Minerals Rule”).
  • The Conflict Minerals Rule requires publicly traded companies to report annually the presence of conflict minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold, or “3TG”) originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“Covered Countries”).
  • ANZER is a privately held company not subject to the legal requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule. However, ANZER supports the goal of ending violence, human rights violations, and environmental devastation in the Covered Countries. We are committed to complying in principle and practicing with the Conflict Minerals Rule requirements to the most practical extent possible.
  • ANZER will assist our customers in implementing their conflict minerals programs. We strive to work cooperatively with our customers and supply chain partners in implementing conflict minerals compliance programs.
  • ANZER requires all our suppliers to provide us with completed conflict minerals declarations using the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. We may reconsider our willingness to partner with suppliers that fail to comply with this Policy.
