Wolfram Company JSC Due Diligence Report for Mineral Supplies in Year 2020 (“OECD Step-5 Report”)
Wolfram Company has always been a supporter of the conflict free material program. We are among the first companies who applied to the CFSI audition and are proud to have an official status of a conflict free tungsten smelter. The Audition has been completed in July 2015 and Wolfram Company is now listed on the web-site of CFSI. We strongly believe that it is in the hands of tungsten smelters to eliminate criminal side and cruelty from the market of raw materials. Therefore, Wolfram Company has always purchased from the mines outside conflict territories. We make sure that our suppliers provide good working conditions at their mines and check it with our own auditions.
We are a constant member of the International Tungsten Industry Association (ITIA) since 2007. Companies-members of the association are the major drivers of the tungsten industry. On annual meetings they discuss main problems and trends of the industry.
