Conflict Minerals Regulation：
Armed rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring countries often exploit the mining and trade of certain metals, leading to severe social and environmental issues, including human rights abuses and armed violence, sparking international controversy.

As a responsible corporate citizen, Startech Precision Corporation is committed to protecting human rights and mitigating conflicts in the DRC and its neighboring regions. We support the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). Startech Precision Corporation adheres to a strict policy of not purchasing or using conflict minerals, fulfilling our social responsibility.

Note:
