FLABEG CONFLICT MINERALS, COBALT AND MICA POLICY
FLABEG冲突矿物、钴和云母政策

On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to Conflict Minerals as directed by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The rule requires manufacturers who file certain reports with the SEC to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain Conflict mineral of these products that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo or specified adjoining countries. The rule aims to further the humanitarian goal of ending violent conflict in the covered countries, which has been partially financed by the exploitation and trade of Conflict Minerals.
2012年8月22日，美国证券交易委员会（U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission，以下简称“SEC”）根据2010年《多德-弗兰克华尔街改革和消费者保护法案》（Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010）第1502条的规定通过了一项有关实施与冲突矿物相关的报告和披露要求的最终规则。规则要求所有向SEC提交备案用报告的制造商披露所生产或承包他人产品中是否含有直接或间接向刚果民主共和国或特定毗邻国家的武装组织提供资金或利益的冲突矿物。规则旨在进一步推动结束所涉国家境内发生的暴力冲突（部分资金来自冲突矿物的开采和贸易）这一人道主义目标。

The Conflict Minerals currently covered by the rule are: Columbite-Tantalite (Coltan) and its derivative metal Tantalum; Cassiterite and its derivative metal Tin; Wolframite and its derivative metal Tungsten; and Gold. The U.S. Secretary of State may designate additional minerals in the future.
规则目前涵盖的冲突矿物包括：铌钽铁矿（Coltan）及其衍生金属钽；锡石及其衍生金属锡；黑钨矿及其衍生金属钨；以及黄金。未来，美国国务卿可能还会指定更多其他矿物。

On October 20, 2021 the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) supporting Conflict Minerals supply chains surveys has started to identify pinch points and collect due diligence information in the Cobalt and Mica supply chain. A specific Extended Minerals Reporting Template has been released on purpose and can be provided by FLABEG on demand.
2021年10月20日，一项支持冲突矿物供应链调查的“负责任的矿物倡议（Responsible Minerals Initiative ，‘RMI’）”已确定从钴和云母供应链开始，收集尽职调查信息。为此，FLABEG特意发布了一个特定的《扩展矿物报告模板》，并经要求向供应商提供。

> FLABEG及其法律实体作出合理的努力

to know, and to require each FLABEG supplier to disclose to FLABEG the sources of Conflict Minerals, Cobalt or Mica in case they would be used in their products; and to eliminate procurement, as soon as commercially practicable, of products containing Conflict Minerals, Cobalt or Mica obtained from sources that fund or support inhumane treatment in the Covered Countries.
了解并要求所有供应商向FLABEG披露冲突矿物、钴或云母的来源，以防冲突矿物、钴或云母被用于其产品；在商业上可行的情况下，尽快停止采购含有获取自任何资助或支持在所涉国家实施非人道待遇来源的冲突矿物、钴或云母的产品。

To ensure compliance with the rule, FLABEG request information regarding the use of Conflict Minerals, Cobalt or Mica from its suppliers, who in turn, must solicit that information from the next tier of suppliers, continuing down the supply chain.
为确保遵守规则，FLABEG要求所有供应商提供有关冲突矿物、钴或云母使用方面的信息；相应地，FLABEG的所有供应商必须要求下一级供应商提供这些信息，确保在整个供应链上逐级实施此规定。

Accordingly, we have introduced to our global supply chain, a requirement that suppliers assist the FLABEG in complying with the disclosure requirements mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as any related laws and rules.
为此，我们已在全球供应链中推出一项规定，要求所有供应商协助FLABEG遵守《多德-弗兰克法案》（Dodd-Frank Act）以及任何相关法律和规则中规定的相关披露要求。
