Due Diligence Management Policy Statement for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains
Changzhou Yufeng Battery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yufeng") fully recognizes that the extraction, trade, processing, and export of mineral resources in conflict-affected and high-risk areas may pose severe risks to human rights, the environment, and society. We firmly believe that enterprises bear the responsibility to respect human rights, refrain from fueling conflicts, and minimize the negative impacts of supply chain activities on the environment and communities. Yufeng has formulated our Policy on Due Diligence Management of Responsible Mineral Supply Chains by adopting guidelines including the Guidelines for Due Diligence Management of Responsible Mineral Supply Chains in China issued by the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals and Chemicals Importers and Exporters (CCCMC), and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
We solemnly commit that Yufeng will strive to establish and maintain a responsible, transparent, and traceable mineral supply chain. We firmly oppose the procurement of any minerals that directly or indirectly fund armed conflicts, involve human rights violations (such as the use of child labor or forced labor), or cause environmental damage. Our scope not only covers traditional conflict minerals (3TG: Gold, Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten) but also extends to expanded minerals including Cobalt, Mica, Copper, Natural Graphite, Lithium, and Nickel. This expansion aims to address broader supply chain risks and meet global regulatory requirements. We support the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) founded by the Electronic Industry Citizens Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI).
We regard suppliers as indispensable partners in building a responsible supply chain. We expect all suppliers to:
● Understand and support the principles and objectives of this Policy.
● Actively cooperate in completing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT), and other relevant questionnaires initiated by us, and ensure the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the information provided.
● Establish their own mineral origin tracing and risk management systems, and gradually promote their upstream suppliers to comply with the same standards.
● Proactively report to us and collaborate in addressing any risks related to conflict minerals or high-risk minerals identified in the supply chain.
This Statement is permanently published in the [Social Responsibility] column on our website and will be updated regularly.
Yufeng is committed to communicating with customers, suppliers, employees, and the public in a transparent manner. We will continuously improve our due diligence system, actively participate in industry initiatives, and work with suppliers and customers to promote the development of responsible mineral supply chains.
