Global ores and concentrates
At Wolfram, we purchase ores and concentrates from producers all around the world. We are dedicated to only purchasing ethically sourced, conflict-free raw materials.
Our company is a pioneer in the supply of conflict-free raw materials in the tungsten industry. We maintain constant contact with relevant organizations, including the OECD, Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), and the EU.We are a founding member of the Tungsten Industry – Conflict Mineral Council (TI-CMC) and a member of the ITRI Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi), which provides a traceability mechanism for concentrates from the mines to our smelting plant. Annual independent audits conducted on behalf of the CFSI demonstrate our commitment to responsible sourcing as a Conflict-Free Smelter.
We source raw materials globally, from both large industrial mines and cooperative and small-scale mines in Africa and South America. Many of our suppliers have longstanding relationships with us, benefiting from technical support. All deliveries must meet strict standards for ethical supply and traceability through the supply chain.
We support our customers in fulfilling the obligations of the US Dodd-Frank Act, Section 1502, regarding due diligence and supplies from conflict-affected areas.
Should you have any questions about this area or need any support as a customer to fulfil reporting obligations, please contact us.
