“Conflict minerals” refers to metallic minerals that mainly come from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or neighboring areas with illegal military conflicts through exploitative labor and mining operations in harsh working environments. The mining and sale of conflict minerals is controlled by armed groups to fund conflicts in neighboring areas. Obtaining metal products from conflict minerals is regarded as indirect support for procurement that violates humanitarian principles.
