衝突礦產政策
Conflict Minerals Policy

採購原物料行動與決策上,承諾使用的礦產來源符合經濟合作暨發展組織 (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development;簡稱 OECD) 的「受衝突影響和高風險地區礦產供應鏈盡職調查指南」同等公認的盡職RMI調查框架,對供應商進行礦物採購盡職調查,展開上游供應商調查及追溯所有產品中所含的原生礦材來源,以確定哪些冶煉廠和精煉廠可以被驗證,符合當前全球標準的負責任地採購礦物的系統,並禁止源自高風險地區之衝突礦產。

In terms of raw material procurement actions and decisions, APAC Opto is committed to using mineral sources that comply with the OECD's "Due Diligence Guidelines for Mineral Supply Chains in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas," which is a widely recognized due-diligence framework aligned with RMI requirements. We conduct mineral procurement due diligence on suppliers, perform upstream supplier investigations, and trace the origin of all primary minerals contained in all products to determine which smelters and refineries that can be verified as having responsible mineral procurement systems meeting current global standards. Minerals originating from conflict-affected or high-risk areas that do not meet these standards are prohibited.

前鼎光電支持RMI在負責任礦物盡職調查上的策略與做法,採用RMI 發佈之盡職調查報告範本和相關管理工具,並指定負責單位,建立有效的管理程序,並要求供應商提供「RMI無衝突礦產報告模板」與「衝突礦產不使用宣告書」,並提出相關產地佐證。供應商亦應將此政策傳達給其上游供應商及供應鏈,要求其上游供應商共同遵守,確保其來源符合OECD要求或已排除同等公認之組織所定義之受衝突影響地區和高風險地區的礦產。

APAC Opto supports RMI's strategies and practices in responsible mineral due diligence by adopting RMI's due diligence report templates and related management tools. The company has designated responsible units, established effective management procedures, and requires suppliers to provide the "RMI Conflict-Free Minerals Report Template" and "Conflict Minerals Non-Use Declaration," along with relevant provenance documentation. Suppliers are also required to communicate this policy to their upstream suppliers and throughout their supply chains, ensuring compliance with OECD requirements or the exclusion of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas as defined by equivalently recognized organizations.

此外,及時關注責任礦產倡議組織(Responsible Minerals Initiative;簡稱RMI)發佈的RCOI礦石原產國信息,評估剛果民主共和國及周邊鄰國和其他高風險地區相關風險,要求供應商從認證合規之冶煉廠/精煉廠進行負責任採購,同時支持繼續使用已經第三方認證的來自剛果民主共和國及其周邊鄰國和其他高風險地區的衝突礦產,以不至於影響或縮減該地區有責任採礦作業。前鼎承諾將致力於落實負責任採購原則,並促進供應鏈之永續發展。

Also, In real time , APAC Opto monitors the RCOI country of origin information on ores released by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), assesses the risks associated with the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighboring countries and other high-risk regions, and requires suppliers to make responsible purchases from certified and compliant smelters/refiners. APAC Opto also supports the continued responsible sourcing of minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighboring countries and other high-risk regions that have been certified by independent third parties, so as not to avoid negatively impacting legitimate and responsible minding operations in these regions APAC Opto is committed to implementing the principles of responsible procurement and promoting the sustainable development of its supply chain.
