Open and honest communication is key, certainly in regards to the origins of materials.
Value Trading is committed to only buying materials from legal and sustainable sources. Under no circumstances will Value Trading purchase goods that contribute to the violation of human rights or originate in conflict zones.
For this reason, we have a strict ‘Supply Chain Policy’ in place, with clear guidelines regarding environment, health, human rights, and AML/CFT.
This policy is in line with the vision of the Responsible Minerals Initiative and the OECD Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains on Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
Value Trading maintains due diligence processes to ensure its suppliers adhere to the Supply Chain Policy. What’s more, everything is supervised by our compliance department, in coordination with external legal advisors.
