Responding to conflict minerals

ISHIKAWA METAL’s procurement policies are designed to develop mutually beneficial trusting relationships with our business partners around the world based on the concepts of fairness, coexistence, transparency, and co-prosperity. We have thus committed ourselves to maintaining high ethical standards and a social conscience, and have declared that we will conduct our procurement activities in strict compliance with both the letter and spirit of laws and regulations in every country and region in which we operate.
We consider the conflict mineral problem to be a major issue in terms of socially responsible procurement, and it is our policy not to use conflict minerals, profits from the sale of which are used to fund armed groups that engage in human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
