JTEKT North America is committed to sourcing responsibly and considers mining activities that fuel conflict as unacceptable. Our efforts related to conflict minerals are aligned to the work of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), an initiative of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative. The CFSI’s work includes the Conflict-Free Smelter Program and the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.
As a supplier to companies that must report to the SEC on Conflict Minerals, we and our suppliers must take the following actions:
1. Audit our Supply Chain for Conflict Mineral content
2. Conduct reasonable country of origin inquiry
3. Exercise due diligence by creating a Conflict Mineral Content Report and Corporate Statement
Attached to this email is the current version of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template which can also be found along with training materials at www.conflictfreesourcing.org .
Please provide complete mine and smelter location address for any smelter that is not included in the dropdown menus of the template.
***This survey is required to be completed by all suppliers annually regardless of prior submission.
***Please return this survey as an Excel file (do not change format) no later than August 26, 2016.
