2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

We majorly source our products from reputable suppliers, eliminating potential risk of any kind including CAHRA.


Approach to assessing risk of our suppliers has been through desktop study analysis by viewing the best practices followed by suppliers.


The KYC process and information obtained from suppliers is verified against watch/sanctioned list and verification of the location of the Business Counterparty and source location with the countries and Areas listed under CAHRA.


We implemented a documented system for identifying high and low risk mineral sources in our supply chain. The approach to assessing our high and low risk minerals has been through an analysis of Conflict, Human Rights and Governance that are marked by CAHRA. We used the list of resources directly from RJC Due Diligence Toolkit as well as other sources in identifying CAHRAs. We first identified in our analysis the Business Counterparty and the source location. Second, for each source location we assessed if it is a high or low risk by studying the various resources information and surveys provided by RJC Due Diligence Toolkit and their impacts on our Business Counterparty locations. The assessment of high and low risk was conducted on Human Rights, Conflict and Governance for each of our Business Counterparty source location. As a way of example, we used Heidelberg Conflict Barometer and Global Peace Index to assess high and low risk in area of conflict.
