Conflict free
Responsible tantalum sourcing
One of the most important components of the procurement business activities of ULBA is tantalum raw materials sourcing from legal, proven sources that allow making supply chain traceability in full.
We have been developing business practices to support the responsible tantalum sourcing, which is often mined in conflict affected and high-risk areas, using tools and resources that improve alignment with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process, meet international standards and support industry and stakeholders expectations.
