Multicare Electronics Ltd recognises and accepts its responsibility as an employer to eliminate, so far as is reasonably practicable, the use of conflict minerals in their repairs and production work. The minerals used to produce tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold – metals which are sometimes found in electrical or electronic devices – are often mined in war-torn or politically unstable areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and in some instances fund armed conflict, insurgency and human rights violations. They are known as “conflict minerals”. We condemn human rights violations. We work hard to ensure that these values are cascaded down our supply chain. We comply with laws and reporting requirements which relate to the use of conflict minerals, which may require us to identify conflict minerals in products that Multicare Electronics repair and produce. This means we may need to ask our suppliers (and they, in turn, their suppliers) about conflict minerals in those products.
