WEEECycling is a French recycling precious metals and production company. The Group is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and WEEELABEX.
Our fully-owned subsidiary WEEERefining is specialized in refining Gold, Silver, Palladium, Platinum, Ruthenium and Copper and produce by-products containing those metals. WEEECycling has adopted a guideline which is consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
Our objective is to ensure that all the precious metals we process come from waste resources and not mines, in order that we do source from legal, ethical sources and are not associated with crime, armed conflict or human right abuses.
Our main objective is to provide Industries with ethical and ecological metals and to offer circular economy loops for precious metals, in their production.
We implement our Supply Chain Due Diligence Policy for the responsible sourcing of precious metals to demonstrate that appropriate and ongoing due diligence has been followed.
We do not source our materials from mines and from conflict-affected or high-risk areas. We define “conflict-affected” and “high risk” areas according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risks Areas.
We are aware that the control and monitoring of suppliers is a key activity to ensure sustainability, especially in the refining and trading business.
We undertake to conduct business in an honest manner to maintain high moral, ethical and social standards;
We will never tolerate or assist in:
- Torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment
- Corruption or any other illegal activities
- Human rights violations and abuses
- War crimes or the violation of international humanitarian law
- Child labour or any other form of forced labour
We will not engage with-and will immediately stop any potential or upcoming engagement with-customers, suppliers or public or private security forces whenever we identify a link to or participation in any of the forms of abuse defined above.
We will not conceal or disguise the origin of our precious metals, or misrepresent taxes, fees and royalties paid for the purpose of the mining, trade, handling, transport and export of precious metals.
We will support efforts for-and contribute to-the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism whenever we identify a reasonable risk of money laundering and the financing of terrorism resulting from or connected to the extraction, trade, handling, transport and export of precious metals.
The compliance is integrated in the management systems and thus serve to reduce the entrepreneurial risk. The management systems ensure that processes are documented and regularly trained and evaluated in internal and external audits.
