On August 22, 2012,The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) passed Article No. 1502 of the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act”, the final edition with regard to “Conflict minerals” procurement. With our corporate social responsibility and international justice practice, Fascon addresses our statement with the standardized self-management approach to avoid use of metallic materials such as, gold, tantalum, tungsten, tin, etc, which are often used in electronic products, from the conflict area such as Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring areas where environment and human rights are neglected per the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC).
  Fascon and its suppliers are no support, no acceptance and no use of metals, i.e., “Conflict Minerals” from the D.R. Congo and its neighboring nations as well as armed conflict areas where metals are mined illegally from unacceptable working environments.
