Our Policies

METCON LIMITED is committed to operating in a manner that is environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and governed by the highest ethical standards. Our ESG framework guides all business operations and strategic decisions.

We actively monitor and work to reduce the environmental impact of our trading and logistics operations, including carbon emissions, waste management, and resource efficiency across our supply chain.

We engage with local communities in our sourcing regions to ensure our activities contribute positively to socio-economic development, supporting education, healthcare, and infrastructure initiatives.

Our governance structure ensures accountability, transparency, and compliance with both Nigerian regulations and international best practices. The Board of Directors oversees ESG performance and risk management.

METCON LIMITED adheres to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. We have established robust management systems to identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout our supply chain.

We conduct thorough Know Your Counterparty (KYC) checks on all suppliers, miners, and trading partners. This includes verification of mining licenses, operational permits, and compliance with local and international regulations.

Our five-step due diligence framework includes: establishing strong company management systems, identifying and assessing supply chain risks, designing and implementing a strategy to respond to identified risks, carrying out independent third-party audits, and reporting annually on supply chain due diligence.

We maintain full traceability of all materials from mine site to end-user, documenting chain of custody at every stage of the transaction process.

METCON LIMITED is a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and sources all materials in strict compliance with international responsible sourcing standards.

We do not tolerate, profit from, contribute to, assist with, or facilitate the commission of any form of torture, cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment, forced or compulsory labour, child labour, human rights abuses, or war crimes in connection with mineral extraction, transport, or trade.

We do not provide direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups or public or private security forces that illegally control mine sites, transportation routes, or trading points.

All sourcing partners are required to demonstrate compliance with our responsible sourcing standards, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with any party found to be in violation of these principles.

METCON LIMITED maintains a zero-tolerance stance on bribery and corruption in all forms. This policy applies to all employees, officers, directors, agents, and third parties acting on behalf of the company.

No employee or representative of METCON LIMITED shall offer, promise, give, request, or accept any bribe, kickback, facilitation payment, or other improper advantage in connection with our business activities.

We comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the Nigerian Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act and applicable international anti-corruption frameworks.

All employees receive regular training on anti-corruption compliance, and we maintain confidential reporting mechanisms for suspected violations.
