Trasma uses tin in the manufacturing of its products, as it is necessary for the products’ functional performance. Trasma does not purchase these metals directly from smelters or mines, so we must rely on the source information provided by our suppliers. Trasma is working closely with our direct suppliers to trace newly mined minerals back to their origin in order to ensure responsible sourcing. As tracing methods evolve, we intend to incorporate appropriate, proven methods into our program.

Trasma has begun requiring that tin suppliers submit this information to Trasma using the standardized EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which traces the metals back through the supply chain.

Trasma expects our suppliers to implement similar measures with their suppliers to ensure consistency throughout the supply chain.
