Conflict minerals statement
Our position on tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold in the supply chain, under Dodd-Frank Section 1502.
Effective 6 January 2025
Saga Machine Co. is committed to responsible sourcing and supports the goals of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, specifically Section 1502, which aims to prevent the use of conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. Those minerals are tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold, collectively known as 3TG.
As a CNC machine shop we do not directly source or purchase raw 3TG minerals from smelters or mines. We recognize that components, tools or raw materials used in our operations may contain 3TG. To the best of our knowledge, and based on reasonable due diligence with our suppliers, we work to ensure that any 3TG contained in the materials we use is sourced responsibly and does not originate from conflict-affected regions.
We require our suppliers to
01
Conduct their own due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TG minerals.
02
Support responsible sourcing practices and comply with applicable regulations.
03
Provide information regarding the presence and source of 3TG in products they supply to us, when requested.
Saga Machine Co. will continue to evaluate its supply chain and encourage responsible mineral sourcing to support ethical business practices across the manufacturing industry.
