Non-Conflict Minerals Policy

Release：2025/12/12

No Procurement or Use of Conflict Minerals”
Conflict-affected and high-risk areas often face numerous social and environmental issues arising from metal mining and trading, including human rights violations and armed violence, which have led to international concern. These metals include Tantalum (Ta), Tin (Sn), Tungsten (W), Cobalt (Co), and Gold (Au). When sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its neighboring conflict regions, they are defined as Conflict Minerals.
As a responsible corporate citizen, Kuvex is committed to safeguarding human rights and refusing to support any illegal activities in conflict regions. We support the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) in their advocacy for responsible mineral sourcing, and we follow the guidelines of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). We also publish our Conflict-Free Minerals Policy on our official website as part of our corporate social responsibility.
Our Commitments:

1. We do not purchase conflict minerals originating from conflict-affected or high-risk areas.

2. We require our suppliers not to use conflict minerals sourced from such regions.
If minerals originate from conflict-affected areas, they must come from conflict-free mines and smelters verified by accredited third-party audits. If any conflict minerals are unintentionally used in products supplied to our company, suppliers must notify us immediately so that appropriate actions can be taken.

3. We conduct due diligence on the mineral sources of our suppliers.
We adopt the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) as our assessment tool and require suppliers to disclose the origins of minerals and to sign a Conflict-Free Minerals Commitment. We expect all suppliers to comply with our conflict-free mineral policy. Through responsible procurement management, we ensure that our sourcing practices—and those of our suppliers—are not linked to conflict regions and meet both customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
