Ronda AG is committed to providing its customers with products of the highest quality and strives for the highest standards of social responsibility and ethical behavior.
In 2012, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) implemented the requirements of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) and made it mandatory for US-listed companies to disclose their use of so-called "conflict minerals" (raw materials such as gold, tin, tungsten, tantalum and their derivatives) originating in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or neighboring countries. These companies must carry out an appropriate review of the origin of the raw materials and submit an annual "Conflict Minerals Report" to the SEC.
We strive to support our customers in fulfilling their disclosure and reporting obligations.
We analyze our supply chains to ensure that our suppliers conduct appropriate due diligence to determine and disclose the origin and whereabouts of conflict minerals. We ask our suppliers not to use conflict minerals from these regions in the products they supply to us and to explain their due diligence steps to us. Based on feedback from our suppliers, we currently have no indications that conflict minerals from the affected conflict regions are used in our products. We rely on the information provided by our suppliers on the sourcing of these materials. (Note: Although we consider our suppliers to be reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data and information they provide).
Our audits have enabled us to fill in the "Conflict Mineral Report Template" (CMRT) provided by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) using the information provided by our suppliers. The updated CMRT and any associated additional information is available on request from our sales teams.
