Conflict Free Policy

GHI Electronics supports preventing conflict minerals in the electronics supply chain. We work with suppliers to ensure they do not knowingly obtain Gold, Columbite-Tantalum, Wolframite, or Cassiterite from conflict areas.

GHI Electronics is continually surveying our supply chain regarding sourcing and procurement of Gold, Columbite-Tantalum, Wolframite, and Cassiterite as well as their derivatives Tin, Tungsten, and Tantalum.

While GHI Electronics makes every effort to abstain from use of these conflict minerals, due to traceability issues, GHI Electronics cannot verify with 100% certainty that our supply chain is Conflict Free.
