Ensuring customer satisfaction through our products requires diligent focus on the quality, delivery performance, cost efficiency, and environmental impact of our components and materials. We apply clear selection criteria for suppliers, assessing their technical capabilities, quality standards, supply capacity, environmental initiatives, and legal compliance. Suppliers are selected based on these objective standards in a fair and transparent manner. As collaborative partners committed to maintaining high standards for our products and services, we share management policies, technology strategies, and challenges with our suppliers and conduct regular information exchange meetings.

2024 Survey Results

We conducted a survey on the country of origin of specific minerals from 139 suppliers. For the 3TG (tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold) survey, we collected responses from 134 suppliers. This survey identified 351 smelters, of which 239 were confirmed that they were RMAP smelters.
For the cobalt and mica survey, we collected responses from 133 suppliers. This survey identified 104 smelters, of which 53 were confirmed that they were RMAP smelters.

Future Activities

In 2025, we will continue to work on due diligence activities to further identify smelters and improve the rate of mineral procurement from RMAP smelters. Collaborating with our suppliers and industry organizations, we will continue to strive to realize our goal to use only conflict-free materials.
