Sustainability

Supply Chain Management

L&F creates sustainable value through responsible supply chain management in collaboration with our partners.
From raw material sourcing to production and delivery, we manage the entire process based on ethics and transparency.
We proactively identify and address human rights, environmental, and ethical risks within the supply chain.
By maintaining open communication with our suppliers, we pursue partnerships that grow and thrive together.

L&F operates its business based on sustainability, striving continuously to promote fair trade practices and achieve mutual growth with its partners.
We recognize that building a sustainable supply chain is essential to achieving our goals, and accordingly, we have established this Supply Chain Sustainability Policy.

Responsible Minerals

"Responsible minerals" refer to minerals that are mined with a commitment to remedying negative factors such as human rights abuses, child labor exploitation, and environmental destruction in the mining process, and to fulfilling social and environmental responsibilities. L&F is actively working with all of its partner companies to amend these negative factors and minimize the impact on the society and environment

Responsible Minerals Management Policy

L&F supports the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) as of 2025 and has established a Responsible Sourcing Policy that includes requirements for minerals such as tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, cobalt, nickel, lithium, and manganese originating from conflict-
affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs).
We require our suppliers to sign and comply with this policy, and we manage adherence through continuous oversight.
To monitor the use of minerals from CAHRAs, we utilize standardized reporting tools provided by RMI, such as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT), and Additional Minerals Reporting Template (AMRT).
Through these tools, we collect data on mineral sourcing and smelter/refiner information from our suppliers.
L&F evaluates responsible mineral sourcing practices when selecting new suppliers and conducts ongoing assessments with existing suppliers to ensure alignment with our policy.

Supervising Conflict Minerals Management of suppliers

As the management of conflict minerals within the supply chain has gained prominence, we are in the process of refining our conflict minerals management procedures. With the transformation of the previous CSR checklist into ESG evaluation criteria, it has become more challenging for suppliers with conflict minerals issues to be integrated into our value chain. In response to this , we conduct thorough evaluations of new raw material suppliers before their registration. This evaluation covers aspects such as their basic financial structure, production capacity, quality control, environmental impact assessment, and measures against child labor. In particular, we carefully review the polices and management systems related to conflict minerals, including cobalt.
