Sustainability

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

Conflict Mineral Management

In 2016, we became a member of the RCI(Responsible Cobalt Initiative)and formulated a ¡®Responsible Sourcing Policy¡¯ outlining the criteria for cobalt and conflict minerals in high-risk regions. We have also called upon new cobalt producers to commit to this policy. Furthermore, we are conducting third-party verification of cobalt smelters by using the Extended Minerals Reporting Template(EMRT) and supply chain mapping tools. We integrate our conflict minerals response process with our partner company¡¯s sustainability management system to ensure responsible mineral sourcing.

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.
