Green Power Mark
AMT purchases green power and has obtained the Green Power Mark issued by the Bureau of Energy MOEA to do our part for the development of sustainable energy. Green Power refers zero or near zero carbon emissions during the power generation process. Compared to other methods of power generation (such as coal power), it has a relatively low impact on the environment and can help us move towards a clean future.
Declaration of Conflict-Free Mineral Policy
As a facet of corporate social responsibility and in compliance with the D.F. Act and related requirements, AMT requests our suppliers commit to eschewing the use of conflict minerals from the Republic of Congo and its neighboring nations. Our No Conflict Minerals Policy is as follows:
1. Our supply partners must sign a declaration abstaining from the purchase of conflict minerals produced in conflict areas and will strive to require upstream and various raw materials suppliers to refuse use of conflict minerals from conflict areas through a letter of commitment.
2. To ensure the additional compliance of supply chain manufacturers with this policy, all material suppliers are required to fill out the Commitment to Prohibiting the Use of Conflict Minerals containing and concomitantly providing a list of minerals processing manufacturers to ensure that their products do not use any conflict minerals from aforementioned areas.
