"the primary risk for our business is associated with the migrant workers we employ in Taiwan and with sourced labour at our suppliers."

 

Pg 4

"WNC is not involved in the direct purchase of metals, and has declared a policy to exclude conflict minerals ... and requests suppliers to avoid using illegal minerals from areas of conflict. WNC investigates whether smelters associated with our suppliers participate in the RMAP (Responsible Minerals Assurance Process) through CMRT and encourages suppliers to assist those smelters that have not participated in RMAP to become qualified smelters in accordance with RMAP stipulations."

The statement only acknowledges the primary risk associated with migrant workers in Taiwan or with sourced labour at their suppliers (page 2).
