Conflict Minerals Policy

Conflict Minerals Policy

On August 22, 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued the final conflict minerals rule under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This Conflict Minerals rule requires publicly traded companies to report annually the presence of conflict minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold) originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. Many of TRS Technologies’ customers fall under this rule and seek our support in complying.

TRS Technologies is committed to sourcing materials and minerals from companies that share our values and those of our customers regarding conflict minerals.

As part of this commitment:

– TRS Technologies investigates the use and origin of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold.

– TRS Technologies requests direct suppliers to be DRC conflict free

– TRS Technologies will not knowingly use tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold originating from mines directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country
