Responsible Sourcing of Conflict Minerals
Responsible Sourcing of Conflict Minerals
Nothing is more important to Irish Decal Products Ltd.’s overall success as an enterprise than our ethical values and doing business right. These principles extend to Irish Decal Products Ltd. expectations for its suppliers and our mutual responsible supply chain sourcing practices.
Irish Decal Products Ltd. is committed to ensuring our products do not incorporate conflict minerals, which are minerals smelted into tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold sourced from entities that directly or indirectly finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. Our management team including our Director Craig Brady works to directly engage our supply chain on responsible sourcing practices.
Irish Decal Products Ltd.’s policy on conflict minerals
Irish Decal Products Ltd. is committed to ensuring that the products it sells (namely Brady’s Coffee and Tea Tins) do not incorporate "conflict minerals," which are minerals smelted into tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold sourced from entities which directly or indirectly finance conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries.
We intend to fully comply with EU Conflict Minerals Regulation ((EU) 2017/821) and in performing due diligence into the sources of such minerals, and disclose the results of such diligence.
We require our suppliers to:
- perform sufficient due diligence into their respective supply chains to determine whether products sold to us which contain tin are sourced from conflict-free smelters;
- report to us the results of such due diligence to enable us to comply with our legal obligations and policy goals; and
- commit to being or becoming "conflict-free," so that any such metals are sourced only from conflict-free smelters.
To support this Policy Irish Decal Products Ltd. commit to:
- Exercise due diligence with relevant suppliers consistent with the OECD Guidance.
- Provide, and require our suppliers to provide, due diligence information confirming that tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold are responsibly sourced.
- Encourage smelters in our supply chain to undergo a third-party assessment, such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) 4 .
- Commit to transparency in the implementation of this policy by making available reports on our progress to relevant stakeholders
