Responsible Minerals Policy

Protecting human rights and the environment through responsible supply chain management

ANC Korea Co., Ltd.'s Responsible Minerals Policy

ANC Korea Co., Ltd. is committed to minimizing negative social and environmental impacts such as human rights violations and environmental destruction that may occur during the mineral extraction process through the establishment of a responsible supply chain management system.

To ensure that responsible mineral extraction and procurement are conducted ethically, we require our partners to adopt a code of conduct for supplier companies established based on the OECD supply chain due diligence guide, and together with stakeholders, we comply with the RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative)'s RMAP (Responsible Minerals Assurance Process).

If we do not receive sufficient information from partners to confirm the use of responsible minerals, if partners provide false information, or if risks are discovered in the partner's supply chain but corrective measures are not implemented, we may suspend transactions with such partners.

ANC Korea Co., Ltd. will actively participate in international efforts to promote the use of responsible minerals together with all partners, and through this, we will fulfill our social responsibility to protect human rights and the environment.
