Supply chain RMI and Supply chain diligence
At Mica Tapes Europe, we take pride in our company's compliance with the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and its associated standards.

Dear customers, dear suppliers,
I am writing on behalf of Mica Tapes Europe to provide a testimony confirming our company's compliance with the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and its associated standards. We understand the importance of responsible mineral sourcing and are committed to upholding the highest ethical and environmental standards in our operations.
At Mica tapes Europe, we recognize that the minerals used in our products can have a significant impact on human rights, labour practices, and the environment in the regions where they are extracted. As a responsible corporate entity, we have taken several steps to ensure compliance with the RMI guidelines and promote transparency throughout our supply chain.

Our due diligence procedures include engaging with suppliers, conducting risk assessments, and requesting information on the origin and chain of custody of minerals in our supply chain.
-
We collaborate with our suppliers to ensure they adhere to the RMI's standards and encourage their participation in RMI audits and assessments.

We have implemented measures to ensure that the minerals used in our products are sourced from responsible and conflict-free suppliers.

We regularly communicate our expectations to our suppliers regarding responsible mineral sourcing and encourage them to establish robust due diligence practices in their own supply chains.

We prioritize transparency and provide regular reports on our responsible mineral sourcing efforts, including progress, challenges, and areas for improvement.

We are committed to engaging with stakeholders, including customers, industry organizations, and NGOs, to foster dialogue and share best practices in responsible mineral sourcing.

Continuous Improvement:

At Mica tapes Europe, we believe that responsible mineral sourcing is not only a legal and ethical obligation but also an opportunity to positively impact the communities and environments where we operate. We remain committed to the principles of the RMI and will continue to work diligently to ensure responsible sourcing throughout our supply chain.
Please feel free to reach out if you require any further information or documentation regarding our compliance with the RMI. We would be pleased to provide additional details to support our testimony.
