Initiatives for Responsible Minerals Sourcing

As part of our efforts to ensure supply chain transparency and responsible minerals sourcing in our procurement activities, Shinko has been conducting studies on high-risk minerals as part of our due diligences, based on the Fujitsu Group Policy on Responsible Minerals Sourcing and following the guidelines of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Additionally, we have been promoting procurement from conformant smelters through risk mitigation and supply chain transparency efforts, including risk assessment and corrective actions, based on results of the studies. The Responsible Materials Initiative’s (RMI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) are used in the studies.
In FY2023, we conducted a survey of 44 companies and confirmed that there were no problems.
