In the United States, the Financial Regulatory Reform Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted in 2010, and Section 1502 of the Act requires listed companies in the United States and foreign private securities issuers to disclose information regarding conflict minerals. Rules have been adopted. Conflict minerals are the four minerals gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and nine surrounding countries. The purpose is to cut it off. In order to fulfill our social responsibility in our corporate activities, our company has a policy of not using conflict minerals mined or brokered by armed groups in the Republic of the Congo and nine surrounding countries. We will strive to prevent the use of conflict minerals by ensuring that all minerals are not used throughout the company and by requesting major suppliers to thoroughly confirm the sources of their mineral resources. In the unlikely event that we discover that we have used conflict minerals, we will stop using them and work to procure substitutes. Going forward, we will continue to sincerely address the conflict minerals issue from both a compliance and CSR perspective.
