Erdoganlar Aluminium Conflict Minerals Policy

Erdoganlar Aluminium aims to use raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and services that are the least harmful to people, the environment and nature in line with its sustainability goals.

Erdoganlar, we are committed to refrain from any actions that contribute to the financing of conflict and to comply with relevant United Nations sanctions resolutions or local laws implementing such resolutions, if any, and to support our suppliers and business partners to do the same. In this context, Erdoganlar, RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative) member in 2024 in order to support the industrial approach and contribute to global responsible purchasing activities to be the best in the world. Suppliers must comply with the regulated substance and product content specifications and all applicable laws prohibiting or restricting the use, content or processing of certain substances, including RoHS, WEEE, Reach, California prop.65 and all other similar laws. Suppliers shall forward all information and official notifications specified above, but not limited to, to Erdoganlar Aluminium. The Erdoganlar are committed to not selling products containing “conflict minerals” (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) from any entity with direct or indirect financial conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo or neighboring countries.

Suppliers: Must conduct adequate due diligence on their supply chain to assess whether products sold or supplied to Erdoganlar contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold and, if so, to determine whether and to what extent these metals are obtained from conflict-free smelters. The results of these assessments will be reported to Erdoganlar and they will undertake to be “conflict-free” so that any such metals are obtained only from conflict-free smelters.

In order to establish a responsible supply chain from the mine to the final product and to conduct due diligence, Erdoganlar complies with the “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” and incorporates the five-stage action plan described in the OECD Principles into its management system. The five-stage action plan includes the

following items;
• Creating strong corporate management systems
• Identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain
• Designing and implementing a strategy that can respond to identified risks
• Auditing smelter/refinery company practices by independent third parties
• Annual reporting of supply chain compliance efforts
To identify risks in the supply chain, we ask our suppliers to fill out the “Conflict MineralsReporting Template (CMRT)” created by RMI and submit it to us. By filling out the CMRT, our suppliers share the conflict mineral information in the products or parts they send and the list of smelters they work with.
