As a global corporation dedicated to envisioning a sustainable future and fulfilling our corporate responsibilities, HHI is committed to safeguarding human rights and the environment in conflict-affected areas. We achieve this through the establishment of a conflict mineral management system and active engagement with our suppliers.
HHI has established a basic policy to thoroughly investigate the inclusion of conflict minerals based on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance to prohibit illegal mining in 10 African countries (Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Congo, Zambia, Tanzania and Central Africa) in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) requirements for companies under the Dodd-FrankRegulatory Reform Act.
HHI has requested our suppliers to follow the guidelines and comply with the use of conflict minerals as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct.
HHI is conducting a conflict minerals survey among our suppliers to assess their awareness and management practices related to conflict minerals. Additionally, we offer online ESG training, on-site assessments, and consulting services to enhance their awareness of conflict minerals and continuously strengthen their conflict minerals management capabilities. We also provide ESG guidelines to systematically support their implementation.
HHI will do our best to comply with the relevant laws of international organizations and actively respond to global mineral issues to achieve ethical mineral purchases that respect human rights and protect the environment.
