Tungsten is one of the so-called refractory metals, along with molybdenum, niobium, rhenium, and tantalum. These materials are known primarily for their high melting points.

As one of the leading tungsten wire manufactuer is highly committed to offering best working environment and opportunity for the employees, providing excellent products and service to our customers, Rizhao Baijin Wire Mesh Products Co.,ltd always dedicate to harmonious development with the society.

It is the conflict free minerals policy of Rizhao Baijin Wire Mesh Products Co.,ltd to avoid the use of conflict minerals which directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the conflict-affected regions such as Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, in line with full compliance to the Industry Code of Conduct.

In the implementation of our policies covering sourcing of raw materials, we are following the applicable OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas. In summary, consistent with the OECD guide requirements for sourcing of tungsten, we will:

  • Work cooperatively with organizations and agencies such as Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), EICC/GeSI, Tungsten Industry Conflict Materials Council ( TI-CMC), International Tin Research Institute (ITRI), and International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) to establish credible and effective processes that isolate and eliminate non-ethical tungsten mining and trade, and allow continuation of legitimate activity in “conflict regions.”
  • Adhere to supplier code of conduct, and establish the reasonable country of origin inquiry system, including purchasing documentations management system, etc.
  • Nominating a responsible person for supply chain compliance.
  • Training of Employees to follow supply management system.
  • Cooperate with customers to comply with applicable legislation’s requirements such as, the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (July, 2010), which encourages legitimate, conflict-free trade of minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Great Lakes Region of Africa.
  • Support the ongoing efforts by relevant authorities that have the potential to ensure legitimate, socially responsible commerce and bring sustainable improvements in living conditions and economic stability in conflict-regions.
  • Ensure that all purchases from “conflict regions” such as the DRC, comply with the applicable requirements of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains.
  • Communicate our ethical and sustainable sourcing policy to our suppliers, employees, customers and investors and perform internal monitoring of our performance to these standards.

We strongly encourage all organizations involved in the mining of tungsten, manufacturing or use of tungsten products to work with us to exclude conflict minerals from our supply chain. We promote timely communication and exchange of information to maximize conflict-free sourcing.
