CBK's Commitment to Ethical Sourcing

 

CBK strives to act ethically and responsibly in its procurement of goods.

 

We support transparency and awareness regarding conflict minerals (gold, tin, tantalum, tungsten) to prevent armed groups in the Congo and similar countries from benefiting from the purchase of conflict minerals.

 

CBK Distribution AS is aware that the proceeds from the sale of certain minerals mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and surrounding countries have contributed to funding wars and human rights violations in eastern Congo.

 

We support transparency and awareness regarding 3TG conflict minerals (Tantalum, Tin, Tungsten, and Gold) and receive reports from suppliers who use components containing these minerals.

 

CBK is committed to ensuring compliance with our policy on conflict minerals for all products under our own brands. We also represent international manufacturers in the Nordic region but do not have direct knowledge of the sources of minerals used in their products. As such, we must rely on information provided by our suppliers. Our suppliers who use components with minerals have a conflict minerals policy in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and report in accordance with this. We follow the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) guidelines for reporting and due diligence of our own supply chain.
