Vast Solutions will remain committed to responsible sourcing and will support efforts to prevent the use of conflict minerals that may contribute to human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.

Conflict minerals will be defined as tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold (3TG). These minerals will continue to be used in many products, and their supply chains will often require careful review.

We will expect our suppliers to conduct due diligence on the origin of any 3TG minerals used in the materials or components they provide to us. They will be asked to follow recognized standards and work with smelters and refiners that will participate in credible audit programs including accredited 3rd party audits.

Vast Solutions will review supplier information, will assess potential risks, and will take appropriate steps to address concerns when they arise. Transparency and responsible sourcing will remain important parts of our supply chain practices.

We will stay committed to improving our conflict minerals program and will continue supporting ethical, conflict-free sourcing across our supply chain
