We strive to be a partner of choice for our customers exceeding expectations for supply chain due diligence and conflict-free minerals.

For over a decade, GAM has been a world leader in the tantalum industry promoting socially responsible and conflict-free supply chains. We are committed to ensuring that the tantalum under our control is responsibly and ethically sourced. Read our Supply Code of Conduct.

Our approach to responsible supply chain includes three key components: conflict-free minerals compliance; human rights due diligence; and meeting the rigorous requirements of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI).

Conflict-free Minerals Compliance -We adhere to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRA). Through the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and Responsible Mineral Initiative audit, we comply with conflict minerals due diligence requirements as detailed by section 1502 of the U.S. Dodd Frank Act and its related Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) implementation rules, the European Union regulation on conflict minerals, and other applicable regulations.

Responsible Mineral Initiative

We are an active member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). A global initiative, the RMI is a group of companies, including leading international brands, that are working together to create a comprehensive set of tools and processes that will support and ensure the credible implementation of a Code of Conduct throughout the Electronics and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and other industry supply chains.

By consolidating and standardizing compliance, auditing and reporting efforts, tantalum suppliers can focus on achieving the highest standards of performance set out by the Code. This approach is also more conducive to fostering a culture of social responsibility throughout the global electronics supply chain.

For over ten years, our processing sites (Boyertown, Pennsylvania and Aizu, Japan) have achieved and maintained [100%] RMI conformant smelter” status with the annual Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) audit.
