Minerals mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, neighboring countries, and high-risk areas have raised issues such as involvement of armed groups and human rights abuses such as child labor and forced labor (OECD Guidance Annex II risk), and all companies are required to procure minerals responsibly.

River Group recognizes that these mineral issues are a serious international problem, and we are committed to ensuring that the tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, cobalt, and other minerals used in our parts and materials are not a source of funding for armed groups located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or neighboring countries, and to avoiding procurement from companies involved in human rights abuses and other activities in high-risk areas.
