Embraer S.A. Conflict Minerals Report 2015

Embraer S.A.
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Year Ended December 31, 2015

We have made statements in this conflict minerals report that may constitute forward-looking statements about our plans to take additional actions or to implement additional policies or procedures with respect to our due diligence efforts to determine the origin of conflict minerals included in our products. We undertake no obligation to publically update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our reporting obligations under the conflict minerals rules may change in the future and our ability to implement certain processes or obtain information from our suppliers may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in this report.

Introduction

This report for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule was adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals (“CM”) as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants that manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of their products. CM includes cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, gold, and their derivatives, which are currently limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. These requirements apply to registrants regardless of the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.

Part 1 - Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)

We surveyed all of our active suppliers in 2015, except for (i) service providers, other suppliers who do not manufacture products, and (ii) certain suppliers of products which, during previous surveys, were confirmed to manufacture products that do not use CM, such as leather suppliers. We included in our survey suppliers of products who were previously confirmed to manufacture products that do not use CM but which products may, by nature, include CM in the future, such as electronic components suppliers. The primary goals of the annual survey process are to confirm the usage of CM and determine whether such CM originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any adjoining country (“Covered Countries”).

For 2015 we again followed an Aerospace Industries Association (“AIA”) standard methodology to survey our supply chain. We used the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition - Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“EICC/GeSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and defined this tool as the RCOI vehicle for our supply chain to report on the use and the origin of CM in the products they provide to Embraer. We provided suppliers with links to the appropriate area of the EICC website to download the most recent version of the reporting template and also to the instructional video on the website showing how to complete the survey template.

We continue to maintain a RCOI supplier survey response mechanism with dedicated email addresses to accept completed survey responses and to answer any CM survey questions. Additionally, we have personnel from our CM team designated to answer questions from suppliers about CM and the Rule.

We managed and tracked RCOI supplier responses by setting up a protocol for addressing suppliers that do not respond or do not know yet if they use CM, as well as, for those suppliers that indicate they do use CM. We also distributed follow-on response letters for any suppliers that did not respond to our RCOI survey or provided incomplete responses.

For all new and renewed contracts and purchase orders after the release of the Rule, we have added clauses for supplier CM control that obligate our suppliers to support our RCOI and CM compliance efforts.

We maintain an archive of all RCOI survey documentation, categorized by calendar year, and plan to retain the information for a period of five years.

Based on our good faith RCOI efforts in 2015, we had reason to believe that our CM may have originated in the Covered Countries and reason to believe that such CM may not be from recycled or scrap sources. For this reason, we conducted due diligence and carried out measures to trace CM throughout our supply chain.

Part 2 - Embraer Due Diligence

Embraer is committed to working with our global supply chain in order to comply with the Rule.

Design of Due Diligence

We maintain a conflict minerals compliance framework that is designed to follow the nationally recognized framework established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (“OECD Guidance”), and the related supplements for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. Our company is fully engaged in supporting that guidance.

Due Diligence Measures Performed

Sections 2.1 through 2.5 of Part 2 of this report explain in greater detail our due diligence process.

2.1 Management System

We have taken several steps to comply with the Rule, including the following:

We have a cross-functional and cross-departmental team to manage the CM program and to report results to Company management and leadership on a regular basis.

We maintain a CM policy and procedure that describes the process for conducting conflict minerals compliance for the Company and defines the roles and responsibilities of our personnel intended to ensure standardization and adherence with the requirements of the Rule.

We continue a CM supply chain control process in order educate our suppliers about CM and the Rule and then track the usage and origin of CM throughout our supply chain (See RCOI section).

We publish a CM summary document that explains the meaning of CM, describes the Company’s views regarding CM, and provides helpful links to additional information regarding CM. This document is publicly available on our website.

We are continuing our supply chain grievance mechanisms, which includes coverage for CM.

2.2 Identify and Assess Risks

Due to the size of the Company, the complexity of our deliverable products, the intricacy of the products our supply chain produces, plus the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers. In no instance does Embraer purchase materials directly from any smelter, refiner or mine. Most of our suppliers are several purchasing layers away from smelters, refiners or mines. We therefore rely on our supply chain to provide us information about the source of CM contained in the components supplied to us.

Because of the complexity of our supply chain, we participate in industry-wide initiatives, including as members of the following industry organizations: Aerospace Industries Association (“AIA”) and their Conflict Minerals Working Group, the International Aerospace Environmental Group, and the EICC/GeSI Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). The primary purpose of these memberships is to learn about common and industry-wide best practices for CM and other regulatory management.

Red flags are defined in the OECD Guidance as a risk identification system to trigger the due diligence standards and processes defined in the OECD Guidance. Our Conflict Minerals Policy and Procedure similarly includes a system of red flags developed to identify and manage supply chain risk from our annual supplier survey process.

2.3 Embraer Strategy to Respond to Risks

Embraer has a risk assessment management plan that includes coverage for CM compliance. Updates to this risk assessment are provided regularly to Company management and leadership.

As part of our risk assessment process, we revised our supplier risk assessment questionnaire to include questions about conflict minerals compliance requirements.

Through our direct membership in the EICC/GeSI CFSI organization, we fully support and regularly receive updates regarding the CFSI initiative. The primary goal of this initiative is for all smelters that receive raw minerals from the Covered Countries to participate in the process to become conflict-free smelters.

2.4 Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

Embraer does not have a direct relationship with smelters, refiners, or mining operations. Because we don’t have a contractual basis, we do not perform or direct audits of these entities. Based on our membership in the EICC/GeSI CFSI initiative, we have access to regularly updated conflict-free smelter lists and can compare these lists against our supplier survey responses to validate smelter status.

For any Embraer suppliers that cannot appropriately manage CM due diligence or are found to use CM from conflict sources within the Covered Countries, we may conduct audits of these specific suppliers prior to making any final decisions regarding continued business relations with these suppliers.

2.5 Publicly Report On Supply Chain Due Diligence

In May 2016, Embraer filed a Form SD with the SEC, along with a Conflict Minerals Report as an exhibit thereto, which contain disclosure about our CM. Our CM disclosure is publicly available on our website at http://ri.embraer.com.br.

Part 3 - Embraer Due Diligence Results

Based on the due diligence that we have conducted to date, we have been unable to determine, in all cases, the origin of the CM used in the products referenced above in the “Company Overview” section. At the end of 2015, we were not able to confirm the country of origin, the mine or location of origin, or the facilities used to process the CM in our products in all cases. We remain committed to promoting economic development in Africa through responsible commercial engagement, driving employee awareness, and our corporate citizenship activities.

Part 4 - Progress From Filing Year 2015 to Filing Year 2016

Embraer reports the following progress since our 2015 filing:

 We achieved a 24.6 % increase in our supplier survey response rate.
 As part of our membership with the Aerospace Industries Assocation Supplier Management Council Conflict Minerals Working Group (“AIA SMC CMWG”), we helped create a letter that was sent from the AIA to all of the Smelters that are not part of a Conflict Free Program. This letter urged these Smelters to become part of a Conflict Free Program. Appendix A defines the Smelters who received a letter which was based on the most current EICC CFSI Smelter Database.

Part 5 - Embraer Future Risk Mitigation

We intend to take further steps to improve our due diligence and to reduce the risk that CM contained in our products may support conflict in the Covered Countries. These steps include:

 Determine what adjustments are necessary, if any, to our RCOI and Due Diligence measures to meet any new regulations, including those recently adopted by China and current pending in the European Union.
 Follow a common approach and apply a reasonable percentage of supply chain spend to our RCOI scope for the following years.
 Continue including a conflict minerals flow down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts.
 Educate suppliers about CM through outreach, training, and other communications.
 Request any of our suppliers that purchase materials directly from smelters, refiners or mines to require that those facilities participate in the CFSI initiative and become a conflict free facility.
 Engage suppliers found to be supplying us with CM from sources that support conflict in the Covered Countries to use its efforts to establish an alternative source that does not support such conflict.
 Continue working with industry groups to strengthen CM control and learn about improved best practices for RCOI and due diligence performance.
 Continuously improve our RCOI and due diligence efforts to expand, enhance, and ensure the most comprehensive coverage of our supply chain.

3 The CFSI generally does not specify individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by compliant smelters and refiners and thus we were not able to determine with certainty the specific countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the listed compliant smelters and refiners. In addition, for some of the listed compliant smelters and refiners, origin information is not disclosed. The list is based on the country of origin data provided to the CFSI for compliant smelters only.

Broadcom Limited Conflict Minerals Report 2015

Broadcom Limited
Conflict Minerals Report
For The Calendar Year Ended December 31, 2015

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) of Broadcom Limited for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”) is filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”) and pursuant to the Company’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (“Form SD”) for the Reporting Period filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Rule imposes certain reporting and disclosure obligations on SEC registrants for which cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (“conflict minerals”) are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the registrant. References in this Report to “Broadcom,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Broadcom Limited and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Recent Developments


Broadcom Limited is the successor to Avago Technologies Limited (“Avago”). This Report for the Reporting Period relates solely to our predecessor, Avago. Broadcom Limited acquired Broadcom Corporation on February 1, 2016.

Company and Product Overview

Broadcom is a leading designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of analog and digital semiconductor connectivity solutions with a focus on analog III-V based products and complex digital and mixed signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor based devices. Broadcom’s extensive product portfolio serves four primary end markets: wired infrastructure, wireless communications, enterprise storage and industrial & other. Applications for our products in these end markets include: data center networking, home connectivity, broadband access, telecommunications equipment, smartphones and base stations, data center servers and storage, factory automation, power generation and alternative energy systems, and displays.

Overview of Conflict Mineral Program

Broadcom’s due diligence framework with regards to conflict minerals, which is summarized below, is designed to conform in all material respects with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains for Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas, and the Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold.

Step 1- Establish strong company management systems:

 Adopt a Conflict Mineral Policy and make it publicly available on our website (http://www.broadcom.com/corporate_responsibility/environment.php).
 Establish an internal conflict minerals team led by our Global Quality organization to implement our conflict minerals policy, which reports program activities to executive management on a regular basis.
 Establish a public email address (avago.conflict-minerals@broadcom.com) for general inquiries.
 Establish a grievance mechanism to enable employees, suppliers and stakeholders to report any concerns and violations.
 Maintain records relating to our conflict minerals program.
 Utilize the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”), a standardized reporting template developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) to identify smelters and refiners that process the necessary conflict minerals contained in our products.

Step 2- Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

 Survey our supply chain using the CMRT, requesting identified direct suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the conflict minerals.
 Contact suppliers who returned CMRT with trigger items to follow up based on internally defined criteria.
 Compare our final smelters and refiners list against the list of facilities maintained by the Conflict-Free Smelters Program (“CFSP”) to identify which smelters and refiners are certified “conflict-free” (“CFSP-compliant”) or active.

Step 3- Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

 Devise a risk management plan to respond to identified risk in the event that Broadcom’s due diligence process identifies smelters in the supply chain to be sourcing or processing conflict minerals from DRC or adjoining countries (together, the “DRC”), and are not CFSP-compliant.
 Perform risk mitigation efforts by contacting suppliers to encourage them to purchase materials from smelters or refiners validated as “conflict-free” by an independent auditor to demonstrate compliant with the CFSP assessment protocols and implement due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing.
 Contact smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, whose email contact information is available from CFSI, to encourage them to participate in an independent third party audit program to demonstrate compliant with the CFSP assessment protocols.
 Provide status reports including information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to our senior management regularly.

Step 4- Independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

 Broadcom supports the development of a range of tools and resources including the CFSP, the CMRT, Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry data and a range of guidance documents on conflict minerals sourcing through our membership with CFSI.
 As Broadcom does not source directly from conflict minerals processing facilities, we rely on CFSP to coordinate independent third-party audits on smelters and refiners.

Step 5- Report annually on supply chain due diligence

 In accordance with the Rule, Broadcom will file a Form SD and a conflict minerals report with SEC on an annual basis. This Report is also available on our website and we will make available future conflict minerals report on our website (http://www.broadcom.com/corporate_responsibility/environment.php).

Description of Due Diligence Measures Performed

 Sent our policy to suppliers to communicate Broadcom’s goal, expectations to co-operate in providing due diligence information, encourage suppliers to purchase materials from smelters or refiners validated as “conflict-free” by an independent auditor demonstrated compliant to CFSP assessment protocols and request that suppliers return a completed CMRT.
 Contacted suppliers who returned the CMRT with trigger items to follow up based on internally defined criteria.
 Compared our final smelters and refiners list (compiled based on information received from suppliers) against the list of facilities maintained by CFSP to identify which smelters and refiners are CFSP-compliant or active.
 Performed outreach to our suppliers who identified smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, to encourage them to purchase materials from CFSP-compliant or active smelters or refiners.
 Performed outreach via email to smelters and refiners who are not CFSP-compliant or active, whose email contact information is available from CFSI, by sending CFSI’s standard smelter engagement letter inviting them to commence their participation in an independent third party audit program to demonstrate their compliance with the CFSP assessment protocols.
 Provided status reports including information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to our senior management regularly, at least once a quarter.

Results of Our Due Diligence Measures

Broadcom uses tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“3TG”) in the design and manufacture of many of its products and is therefore a “downstream” company in the conflict mineral supply chain. Due to the nature of our supply chain, we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners. Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of semiconductors, electromechanical components and raw materials that are also supplied by other downstream companies in the supply chain. Our due diligence process involves seeking data from our relevant suppliers, and these suppliers seeking similar information from their supply chain in order to identify the sources for the necessary conflict minerals. While we review the CMRTs provided by our suppliers for completeness and contact suppliers as required based our internally defined criteria, we rely on the good faith efforts of our supply chain to provide us with reasonable data. We also depend largely on information collected and provided by CFSI obtained through their independent third party audit programs. We achieved a response rate of 98% for our supply chain survey. Despite our outreach efforts, we were unable to obtain the remaining 2%. We have included a list of smelters and refiners as reported to us by our relevant suppliers that may form part of our supply chain, and which have been determined to be legitimate processing facilities by the CFSI, as well as the locations of these facilities, at the end of this CMR. Other processing facilities were reported in our supply chain, however these processing facilities are not listed in the tables at the end of this CMR as they have not yet been determined as legitimate by the CFSI.

Many of our suppliers sourced 3TG from a variety of upstream sources and provided information to us on an aggregated, supplier-wide level. Due to the fungible nature of these materials, we understand that these suppliers were unable to trace the 3TG that they source into the products provided to any particular customers (including Broadcom). As a result, our list of 3TG processing facilities potentially contains more facilities than are actually used in our supply chain. In addition, our list of facilities may not include all the smelters and refiners in our supply chain as some of our suppliers were unable to identify the smelters and refiners of some of the conflict minerals and not all of our suppliers responded to our survey.

We compared smelters and refiners declared by our suppliers against the list of facilities that are certified “conflict free” by the CFSP and obtained countries of origin information (when available) from CFSI. We have identified 299 smelters and refiners determined to be legitimate processing facilities by the CFSI, of which 214 have been validated as CFSP-compliant, 33 are listed as “Active” as they are at various stage of the audit cycle in the CFSP, and the remaining 52 have no known participation in the CFSP. However, we were unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of custody of all necessary conflict minerals because, for this reporting period, many smelter and refiner facilities had not yet received a “conflict free” designation.

Ongoing Improvement Efforts

For the next reporting period, we intend to implement steps to further mitigate the risk that conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC.

These steps include:

a. working with relevant suppliers to update their conflict minerals reporting template using the latest CMRT, and verify the identified smelters with the latest CFSI’s updated CFSI list;
b. continuing to refine our conflict minerals program to improve our reasonable due diligence measures in our effort to determine the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals;
c. continuing to work with suppliers and others on industry-wide solutions to enable products that are DRC conflict free;
d. when required by the Rule, obtaining an independent private sector audit for the Report; and
e. extending the reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence measures on our recently acquired entity, Broadcom Corporation. Prior to its acquisition, Broadcom Corporation was publicly listed and compliant with the Rule.

Cascade Microtech, Inc. CY2015 Conflict Minerals Report

This is the Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Cascade Microtech, Inc. (“CSCD”) for the year that ended December 31, 2015 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule requires CSCD to report on the source and origin of Conflict Minerals that are contained in the products CSCD manufactures or contracts to manufacture and that are necessary
to the functionality or production of the products. “Conflict Minerals” are gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (3TG) for the purposes of this Report. Under the Rule, if after a reasonable country of origin inquiry CSCD cannot determine that it has no reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered
Country”) and are not from recycled or scrap sources, CSCD must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody and report on the results.

This Report is not subject to an independent private sector audit as permitted by the Rule and guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Rule.

Company Overview

CSCD is a worldwide leader in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced wafer probing, thermal and reliability solutions for the electrical measurement and testing of high performance semiconductor devices. CSCD’s products enable precision on-wafer measurement of integrated circuits and are typically used in the early phases of the development of semiconductor processes where the accuracy and repeatability of measurements is critical to achieving yield from advanced process nodes. CSCD’s products are also used in production applications to test semiconductor devices prior to completion of the manufacturing process. CSCD’s engineering probe stations and analytical probes are used in research and development to perform precise electrical measurements, or electrical metrology, on increasingly complex and high-speed chips in order to assure quality and reliability, reduce costly redesigns, accelerate time-to-market and improve chip fabrication processes. CSCD’s production probe cards reduce manufacturing costs of complex and high-speed chips by identifying defective chips early in the process and by testing multiple chips concurrently.

CSCD has three manufacturing facilities, which are located in in Beaverton, Oregon, USA and Munich and Sacka, Germany.

CSCD’s supply chain is complex and diverse with vendors residing throughout the world.

Due Diligence Measures and Applicable Products

CSCD initially reviewed the products that it manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2015 to determine which of those products contained Conflict Minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of CSCD’s products. Based on that review, CSCD determined that all of its products (the “Applicable 3TG Products”) potentially contained Conflict Minerals and possibly were within the scope of the Rule requiring CSCD to perform reasonable country of origin inquiries and additional due diligence efforts in order to determine the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in the Applicable 3TG Products. A description of the measures CSCD took to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its Conflict Minerals is provided below in this Conflict Minerals Report.

Due Diligence Standards

CSCD’s due diligence measures were designed to conform to the framework in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition.

CSCD Conflict Minerals Policy

CSCD has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy and requires its suppliers to comply with the policy. CSCD’s Conflict Minerals Policy is found on its website at http://www.cmicro.com/company/quality-and-environment and includes the following:

It is CSCD’s intent to ensure that our organization does not aid in funding or enabling any group to oppress others through the manufacturing of our products. This policy fits into our framework of social responsibility as global citizens.

CSCD supports ending violence and human rights violations in the mining of certain minerals from a location described as the “Conflict Countries,” located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.

CSCD supports the Conflict Minerals Rule passed by Congress to further the humanitarian goal of ending violent conflict in Conflict Countries, where the exploitation and trade of “Conflict Minerals” has partially financed the oppression of people in the DRC and its surrounding countries.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Description

A material part of CSCD’s due diligence involved the reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) required by the Rule. To implement the RCOI, CSCD’s suppliers were engaged to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten (3TG) used in the products supplied to CSCD. Information was collected and stored using an online platform provided by a third party vendor, Source Intelligence.

Supplier engagement followed these steps:

• An introduction email was sent to Tier 1 suppliers describing the compliance requirements and requesting conflict minerals information;
• Following the initial introductions to the program and information request up to 5 reminder emails were sent to each non responsive supplier requesting survey completion;
• Suppliers who remained non-responsive to email reminders were contacted by telephone to try and determine the reason for the delay and to provide further assistance for completing the request.

An escalation process was initiated with CSCD for suppliers who continued to be non-responsive after the above contacts were made. The program utilized the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) for data collection.

Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps. Additional supplier contacts were conducted to address issues including incomplete data on CMRT reporting templates, responses that did not identify smelters or refiners for listed metals, and organizations that were identified as smelters or refiners, but not verified as such through further analysis and research.

Results of Inquiry and Due Diligence Efforts

A total of 675 Tier 1 suppliers were identified as in-scope for Conflict Mineral regulatory purposes and contacted as part of the RCOI process conducted by Source Intelligence. The response rate among these suppliers was 66%. Of these responding suppliers, 61% indicated one or more of the regulated metals (3TG) as necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supply to
CSCD. The attached reporting year 2015 summary provides detailed information regarding the known and active smelters/refiners reported to be in CSCD’s supply chain. Based on Source Intelligence’s smelter/refiner database, there was an indication of DRC sourcing for 30 out of 371 verified smelters/refiners, with 27 out of those 30 smelters possessing a conflict free certification from an independent organization. CSCD will engage in further risk mitigation and due diligence efforts as described below with an emphasis on those suppliers that either did not report or reported sourcing from one of the 3 smelters not certificated as conflict free.

Future Risk Mitigation and Due Diligence Efforts

The following are some of the steps CSCD is taking to improve the results of its due diligence efforts and mitigate the risk that CSCD’s necessary Conflict Minerals benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

• Continue to educate its suppliers on CSCD’s Conflict Minerals Policy and the need to complete an accurate survey or risk discontinuance.

• Encourage CSCD’s suppliers to only source Conflict Minerals from smelters or refiners participating in the CFSP or Responsible Gold Guidance Program or comparable programs.

• Follow up with individual suppliers that might be sourcing from high risk countries through smelters or refiners not participating in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program or Responsible Gold Guidance Program or comparable program.

• Gather more precise country of origin information, and if any Conflict Minerals come from Covered Countries and the applicable smelter or refiner is not participating in a recognized conflict free compliance program, conduct further due diligence on the source of origin or mine, or consider discontinuing with the supplier sourcing from the non-compliant smelter or refiner.

The CFSI generally does not specify individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by compliant smelters and refiners and thus we were not able to determine with certainty the specific countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the listed compliant smelters and refiners. In addition, for some of the listed compliant smelters and refiners, origin information is not disclosed. The list is based on the country of origin data provided to the CFSI for compliant smelters only.
