We implement rigorous standards and practices in the realm of Product Stewardship which has earned us a reputation for product reliability among customers, employees, neighbors, and health and safety officials. We employ the best available technology and follow exacting procedures to ensure that these standards and practices meet or exceed product safety requirements. These procedures are subject to regular audits conducted by internal and independent experts. We perform multi-step testing of the ores we use from exploration to mining. In addition, we test our final products to ensure the validity of the controls carried out on the ores. As an additional layer of quality assurance, specific tests are conducted by independent accredited laboratories. Product stewardship procedures include: Mapping our deposits and practicing selective mining as needed to avoid impurities that occur naturally in many ore bodies Sampling and testing the ores we mine and purchase to analyze their composition, quality and safety Sampling and testing our finished products to ascertain their composition, quality and safety Investing in equipment and monitoring and encouraging safe workplace behaviors Taking health, safety and environmental impacts into consideration when developing new products and applications Developing safety information for people who work with our products at every stage in the supply chain We also commission independent research on the health effects of our products - and complete life cycle assessments to measure their environmental impact and support our customers' own SD agendas.
