Novatech Controls and Conflict Minerals
It would be easy to pretend that events taking place on another continent have little meaning to the greater global community, but in certain instances, this could not be further from the truth. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in central Africa may not immediately spring to mind when you think of electronic equipment, but without the natural resources mined within its borders, electronics as we know it would be very different.
The global demand for consumer electronics is experiencing record growth, and forecast to continue this trend for the foreseeable future. To meet this demand, manufacturers need to secure the natural resources and minerals required to produce their products.
The DRC in central Africa is situated in a region abundant in natural resources, some of which are rare and highly valuable, especially for the manufacture of certain electronic parts. It is also a country that has for generations struggled with political instability, corruption and exploitation. The combination of which has lead to such levels of human rights violations that many countries have introduced laws that require companies to audit their supply chains to identify and eliminate ‘conflict minerals’ from their product range.
As a manufacturer of electronic equipment Novatech Controls feels strongly that we must do our part to support the conflict-free initiatives in place in central Africa. We must ensure that none of the proceeds from the manufacture or sale of our equipment winds up supporting corruption or funding the perpetrators of crime.
