CONFLICT MINERAL STATEMENT. Advantech is committed to its global social responsibility and implements responsible procurement practices to promote sustainable development of the supply chain. Advantech takes proactive action to investigate the supply chain to ensure Conflict Minerals are not used in Advantech products.

“Conflict Minerals” are designated as Tin(Sn), Tantalum(Ta), Tungsten(W) and Gold(Au) which originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and other nearby conflict areas.  The profits from the sale of such material allegedly finances continued armed conflicts in these countries.

Advantech also requires its suppliers to investigate their supply chains and to NOT accept Conflict Minerals for use in the products sold to Advantech.
