Responsible Minerals Initiative
The conflict minerals tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten may be part of the Coroplast Group's production process for certain products, which we purchase in the Coroflex and WeWire divisions. To minimize the risk that these raw materials in the supply chain of our suppliers originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or its neighboring countries, we use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) questionnaire of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI).
Corporate Due Diligence Act in Supply chain
The admission and compliance with international human rights, internationally acknowledged labor and social standards in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO core labor standards) and the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shape the business activities of the Coroplast Group.
The Coroplast Group strives to implement the obligations of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act through continuous stakeholder engagement, access to grievance mechanisms, transparent disclosure and due diligence.
Further details can be found in the Coroplast Group's Declaration of Principles on Respect for Human Rights.
Human Rights Officer
In accordance with the Due Diligence Act, the management of the Coroplast Group has appointed the Chief Compliance Officer as Human Rights Officer. The Human Rights Officer monitors risk management and reports regularly, at least once a year, to the Management Board.

In order to fulfil our claim as the Coroplast Group to recognise and respect human rights, we have implemented a Code of Conduct for ourselves and our suppliers, which expresses our attitude towards ourselves and our business partners.
