CONFLICT MINERALS
STATEMENT
TM AERO LLC dba Aero8™ is devoted to protecting the health and safety of people as well as the environment they live in. As per the Conflict Materials provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, HR 4173, Section 1502 (Conflict Minerals Act), Aero8™ is collaborating with its suppliers to ensure the supplies and materials furnished do not contain substances which are deemed as conflict minerals.
Conflict minerals include supplies and materials that directly or indirectly benefit armed militants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or the surrounding nations. Aero8™ will make every effort to guarantee that conflict minerals will not enter our supply chain by requesting credible certificates of origin for supplies and materials obtained that could have originated in conflict areas or the connecting countries.
Through strong communication and teamwork, Aero8™ hopes to extinguish the use of conflict minerals in all the parts we acquire.
