Procurement Policy
Conflict Minerals Policy
We make it our corporate policy not to engage in human rights violation, environmental destruction, corruption or any other form of injustice. We have zero tolerance for human rights abuses of any kind in the process of procuring minerals from conflict areas and high-risk regions. We do not form business relationships with entities or individuals that violate human rights, nor do we take part in acts that adversely affect the social and economic system or the environment.
Responsible Mineral Procurement
Profits from mining and dealing with tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold (collectively referred to as 3TG) and cobalt in conflict areas and high-risk regions, like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its neighboring countries, are financial sources for armed groups and antigovernment forces. Using minerals from these areas and regions has a potential risk of fueling conflict, human rights violation and environmental destruction. We think that mineral mining has social and environmental risks and should be controlled as an intensive industry.
Internal production of materials
The compounds used as the sheathing material for cables and tubes are produced within the HIRAKAWA HEWTECH Group in line with the Chemical Substances Control Standard.
Environmentally friendly cables
We create “environmentally friendly products” that do not use any substance of concern.
