Corporate social responsibility

To fulfill corporate social responsibility and provide all employees a safe and healthy working environment, we work hard to reduce the environmental impact contributed by production and prevent occupational accidents from occurring. We have both obtained ISO14001 environmental management system and OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety management system verifications, and achieved Greenhouse gas reduction targets compared to the previous year’s annual revenue per unit for at least 1% or more. While in the electronics industry, we are committed to implement compliance with the Code of Conduct (EICC) and request the EICC content from all our next level suppliers.

The RBA( Responsible Business Alliance) of the request, and then the RBA(EICC) content to the next level of suppliers.

．Darfon Statement of Conflict Minerals

Concerning the deterioration of society, environment and human rights as a result of the military control over metals like gold (Au), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), tin (Sn) (short as 3TG), cobalt (Co) and palladium (Pd) by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) nearby non-governmental military groups. Darfon insists on no use of conflict minerals policy and not to buy from the illegal exploitation of conflict minerals areas. We are supporting and following Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI, http://www.conflictfreesourcing.org) and customer requirements strategies and approaches, which is compliant and compatible with “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas”, due diligence on mineral origin and chain of custody.

CFSI’s conflict-free Smelter Program (CFSP) implements 3rd-party audits on smelters and refineries, at the same time, conflict-free minerals from the DRC and neighboring countries are still acceptable. Darfon sources only from publishes compliant or equivalent smelter & refiner lists, thus, its minerals will not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups that are perpetrators of serious human rights abuse and practice.

Supplier Requirement

Darfon communicates the following expectations to its suppliers with respect to the responsible sourcing of minerals:

1. Darfon suppliers must conduct their operations in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
2. Darfon suppliers are expected to make sure that the products they are supplying to Darfon are DRC conflict-free and do not contain metals derived from minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
3. Darfon suppliers shall exercise due diligence based on national, international recognized standards and coustomer requirements guidance on the source and chain of custody of these minerals (such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas) and make their due diligence measures available to Darfon upon request. These measures shall include the completion of the RBA(EICC)/GeSI Due Diligence Template tool and the support of the RBA(EICC)/GeSI Conflict-Free Smelter (CFS) Program.
4. Darfon demands compliance with above mentioned policy and approach from all its suppliers, and adopts CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and package tools or equivalent for minerals due diligence reporting in value chain.
5. Once CFS program smelter lists are sufficiently available, Darfon suppliers must only accept metals from smelters that have been audited and are deemed compliant by the RBA(EICC)/GeSI Conflict-free Smelter (CFS) Program and customer requirements.
