VALUE CHAIN<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

SUSTAINABLE. ECOLOGICAL. COMPETENT.<\/h2><\/div>

Precious metals are part of our daily lives: not only in the form of jewelry or as an investment, but also in smartphones, in multimedia devices, in traffic or just when the light is switched on at home. Precious metals are processed in various industries or used for the manufacture of other products – and have long become irreplaceable in modern industrial manufacturing. Today, more precious metal is needed than the earth can provide permanently. Recovering precious metal from waste in order to be able to use it again or in order to conserve resources and protect the environment is often more useful than mining. WIELAND Edelmetalle GmbH represents the complete cycle from the recycling of precious metals and their reprocessing and further processing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

RESPONSIBILITY<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

RESPECT. TRUST. QUALITY.<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

The basis of our many years of history and the continuing success of WIELAND Edelmetalle are binding corporate values that characterize our daily thinking and actions: in dealing with customers and suppliers as well as in the cooperation of our teams and employees. We value a trusting and cooperative partnership – characterized by respect, integrity and transparency. We treat our business partners with appreciation and strive to realize the optimum solution for individual customer needs: with experience, skill and vision. In addition, we follow the principle of sustainable economic success, combined with a consciously ecological handling of raw materials. This self-image is the basis for the trust of our customers in Germany and abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CODE OF CONDUCT. COMPLIANCE.<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

As a producer and processor of precious metals, we are aware of our special responsibility along the entire value chain. Therefore, our self-understanding in the daily work includes the unconditional respect of the recognized principles of business ethics such as the respect of human rights, the respect for cultures, customs of our employees and business partners as well as strict compliance with existing laws. As a subsidiary of the SAXONIA Group, we standardize the principles of our business conduct in a Code of Conduct that applies throughout the Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>

SUPPLY CHAIN DUE DILIGENCE POLICY<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

As a leading company in precious metal technology, we are aware of our social, ecological and economic responsibility and are therefore committed to a social, environmentally sound and sustainable use of limited natural resources. In particular, we want to ensure that our products do not contain raw materials from illegal or unethical sources.<\/p>\n

As a recycler of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium from precious metals bearing finished products or from used products as well as scrap, metallic and other wastes arising from the refining and production of precious metal bearing products, we do not process any mined material. We are also a manufacturer of semi-finished precious metal bearing products for various applications. At our production site in Pforzheim, Germany, we employ about 145 people.<\/p>\n

We are a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC)<\/strong>. The RJC is an organization that sets standards to drive responsible ethical, human rights, social and environmental practices throughout the supply chain for gold, silver, platinum group metals, diamond and color gemstone jewelry. The RJC has developed a benchmark standard for the jewellery supply chain and credible mechanisms for auditing responsible business practices through third-party auditing. As an RJC member, we commit to conduct our business in accordance with the RJC Code of Practices and the RJC Chain of Custody. We commit to integrating ethical, human rights, social and environmental concerns into our day-to-day operations, business planning activities and decision-making processes.
\nWe conduct reviews at least once a year to assess the continued suitability and appropriateness of these business practices for achieving the policy and implement improvements to fill any gaps. For an objective confirmation of our efforts, we are regularly audited by independent third parties in accordance with the requirements of the RJC Code of Practices and the RJC Chain of Custody.In addition, we participate in the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (RMI)<\/strong> Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), which provides companies and their suppliers with an independent third-party audit to determine which smelters and refineries have demonstrated systems of responsible sourcing of minerals in accordance with current global standards.
\nFounded in 2008 by members of the Responsible Business Alliance and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative, the Responsible Minerals Initiative has grown into one of the most utilized and respected resources for companies from a range of industries addressing responsible mineral sourcing issues in their supply chains.
\nMore than 400 companies and associations from over 10 industries participate in the RMI today, and we regularly collaborate with other complementary programs and initiatives in this area.
\nAs more companies work on this issue, we hope for a future in which businesses can make greater contributions to the fostering of peace and stability in conflict-affected and high-risk areas globally.<\/p>\n<\/div>

QUALITY<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

In order to meet our own quality standards and to ensure the necessary purity and dimensional stability of our materials, we use various modern testing methods in production and quality control. In addition to the usual analysis for metallic cations (ICP-OES, AAS), our chemical laboratory can also measure the concentration of various non-metals (C\/S) and the gas loading of the materials with oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2). In our materials laboratory, in addition to the geometry, we measure the mechanical characteristics by tensile and compressive tests, the surface roughness, the hardness (HV) and the grain size and microstructure of the materials. With the help of a continuous improvement process (CIP), we constantly increase the performance of our employees and the technical processes we use to meet our economic and environmental responsibility to our customers and our environment at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The minimization of environmental risks is supported by the expertise of our staff and preventative technical measures to protect the soil, air and water.<\/p>\n<\/div>
