Conflict minerals are minerals mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses, notably in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such as Tantalum (Ta), Tin (Sn), Gold (Au), Tungsten (W), by armed parties who are often affiliated with various armed rebel groups. The profits from the sale of these minerals finance continued fighting in Second Congo War, and control of lucrative mines becomes a focus of the fighting as well.
Alink, as the citizen of the world, supports human rights, and embraces its Corporate Social Responsibility. We will keep paying attention to this issue, and do due diligence to ensure that Alink and Alink’s suppliers avoid using conflict minerals.
