Conflict Minerals/Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd- Frank Act seeks in part to stem the tide of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by
limiting the sources of financing for certain armed groups operating in the DRC.
There has been increased awareness of human rights violations in the mining of certain minerals from a
location described as the “Conflict Region” which is situated in the eastern portion of the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.
The common derivatives from these minerals are:
Tantalum
Tin
Tungsten
Gold
ADIOS works closely with all of our suppliers to ensure to the best of our knowledge we are not distributing any products that contain
“Conflict Minerals” or products which use “Conflict Minerals” in their manufacturing processes.
As part of this process ADIOS demonstrates due diligence by informing all of our suppliers that by accepting our orders,
they are agreeing to supply said products to ADIOS which do not use any raw materials in their manufacture that are defined as “Conflict Minerals”.
