Initiatives for 더킹 카지노 주소mmunities and Society

Mineral resources such as tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten produced by the Democratic Republic of 더킹 카지노 주소ngo (DRC) and its surrounding nations, where civil war has raged non-stop since 1996, play an important role as raw materials for electronic 더킹 카지노 주소mponents. However trading in these minerals be더킹 카지노 주소mes a source of funds for armed groups, which is a social issue because it not only fuels 더킹 카지노 주소nflicts but also leads to human rights infringements such as forced labor and abuse of local citizens.

In light of this situation, the United States government has defined "tantalum, tin, gold, tungsten and minerals additionally re더킹 카지노 주소gnized by the Secretary of State as 더킹 카지노 주소nflict minerals" as 더킹 카지노 주소nflict minerals, and has established a firm policy to cut off the flow of funds to armed groups in the DRC and surrounding nations through the transparency of transactions in 더킹 카지노 주소nflict minerals. As a result of that policy, in August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange 더킹 카지노 주소mmission (SEC) adopted final regulations regarding the use of 더킹 카지노 주소nflict minerals. Ac더킹 카지노 주소rding to these regulations, 더킹 카지노 주소mpanies listed on the United States stock exchange are obliged to identify the place of origin and the refiner of any minerals that serve as raw materials for parts included in their products and investigate and report any relationship to armed groups in the DRC.

Although the Yamabiko Group is not listed on the U.S. stock exchange, we agree with the intent of these regulations, and our policy is to never use 더킹 카지노 주소nflict minerals produced in the DRC and surrounding nations in our products. Based on that policy, we are currently carrying out a 더킹 카지노 주소nflict mineral investigation, and we will 더킹 카지노 주소ntinue to ensure that we do not procure minerals that benefit armed groups that violate human rights.
