US legislation enacted by Congress on July 2010 Disclose annually to SEC Democratic Republic of Congo Tin Tantalum Tungsten Gold It is the sense of Congress that the exploitation and trade of conflict minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is helping to finance conflict characterized by extreme levels of violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly sexual- and gender-based violence, and contributing to an emergency humanitarian situation therein.

Overview - Contains comprehensive guidance for responsible supply chain for conflict minerals - Most quoted document for modeling compliance - Very broad application In practice - Excellent baseline guidance for companies working closer to the source of the minerals or in conflict areas - Broader than Dodd-Frank Section 1502 - However, five (5) principal steps can be extracted and used by electronics producers 17
Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems Step 2: Identify and Assess Rick in the Supply Chain Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks Step 4: Third-Party Audit of Smelters/Refiners Due Diligence Practices Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence 18

Challenges Visibility beyond Tier 2 is very challenging. Use an industry process (EICC-GeSi) to gain visibility into the supply chain Difficult to obtain internal buy-in Smaller companies have limited knowledge and experience of the supply chain Actions 54% are collecting supply chain data Supplier s suppliers, smelter name, contact information, mine of origin, product suppliers, all points of import and export along the supply chain, export license, signed supplier declaration, and supplier polity Tools EICC-GeSi MRPRO dashboard, IMDS and SAP software AIAG is working on a common data collection system for origin/smelter identification 23
Challenges Identifying smelters Labor Intensive Limited reliability Identify all vendors that supply 3T s Fear of reverse engineer the product Confidentiality issues Trade secret and Non-disclosure assurances General lack of resources to implement due diligence 24
Challenges Smelters participation in the CFS Smelters outside of US and Europe that are not subject to legislation Suppliers reluctant to provide proprietary information due to competitive concerns Customers only accepting audits from certain auditing firms Increase administrative and cost burdens Procurement Complexity Buyers change suppliers frequently increasing the complexity of obtaining information. Auditor training Building the capacity of trained auditors will take time and resources Limited visibility 25
