Responsible Minerals Sourcing Management
As a member of Foxconn Technology Group, FIH adheres to the spirit of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and is committed to sourcing minerals in an ethical and responsible manner. Through the FIH Supplier Social and Environmental Responsibility Code of Conduct and the FIH Supplier Responsible Minerals Sourcing Management Process, we clearly define our principles for responsible minerals management. We require suppliers to implement mineral traceability management, avoid the use of conflict minerals, and follow international best practices.
FIH requires suppliers to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and international standards to ensure that gold, tin, tantalum, tungsten, as well as the cobalt and mica covered by the FIH Supplier Responsible Mineral Sourcing Management Process (3TG + Cobalt + Mica), are legally sourced and meet human rights and environmental protection requirements. We continue to promote transparent and traceable supply chain management, working with our suppliers to build a responsible sourcing system and jointly advance the sustainable development of the supply chain.
Through centralized management and a digital dashboard, FIH can monitor suppliers' mineral sourcing information in real time, strengthen its tracking and risk monitoring capabilities, and provide customers with transparent disclosure. To facilitate the sharing and compilation of responsible minerals sourcing data across the Group, the supplier management departments of each business unit can use this system platform to conduct due diligence on suppliers.
Conflict Minerals Management Process
FIH has implemented a Conflict Minerals Management Platform accessible to both business units and suppliers, ensuring that mineral sources are fully transparent and traceable. This platform is managed by the Supplier Quality Management (SQM) department, which is responsible for monitoring mineral usage and conducting annual reviews. Through this centralized system, the platform collects, integrates, and verifies conflict minerals due diligence reports submitted by suppliers, ensuring the integrity and consistency of the information.
All data is stored for long-term tracking and is visualized through a Digital Dashboard in real-time. This system facilitates the monitoring of supplier mineral sources and enables transparent disclosure to our customers. Concurrently, supplier management teams across various business units utilize the platform to perform supplier due diligence, promoting internal data sharing and statistical analysis to enhance FIH’s responsible mineral procurement management.
