Summary of Conflict Minerals Issue

Conflict Minerals refer to the so-called “3TG” minerals including Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold that come from conflict-ridden areas of the world such as Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries.

Rebels and armed groups in the region use profits from trading the minerals to fund violent activities against civilians and spark civil wars. Their actions constitute a crime against humanity as they include child labor and forced labor in the mine, civilian massacre, and violence against women.

In an effort to end the conflict by limiting funding sources of the armed groups, the US Congress established a law in 2010, making it mandatory for companies to report their use of conflict materials (Dodd-frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.) Section 1502 of the law requires companies listed in the US to inquire into their use of conflict materials, the origin of minerals supplied to them, and minerals with suspected links to conflict, and to report to US Securities and Exchange Commission on the results of the inquiry.

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle is subjected to the law as its parent company Tata Motors Limited (TML) is a US-listed company.

● TDCV requires its suppliers to understand and report the source of the materials constituting their parts supplied to TDCV. Further, TDCV encourages its suppliers to source responsibly with certified conflict-free smelters, wherever possible, to increase TDCV’s level of confidence that the parts in its vehicles are sourced responsibly.

● Suppliers currently sourcing minerals with suspected links to the covered countries may continue to do so as long as they continue to exhibit efforts to trace the exact origin of Conflict Minerals used in the components supplied to TDCV.

● Elimination of procurement, as and when commercially practical, of products containing Conflict Minerals obtained from sources that fund or support armed conflict in the covered countries.
