8. Conflict Minerals Policy Statement

Introduction

As many supply chain participants and others have acknowledged publicly, the Dodd-Frank Act1 created a new expectation for product manufacturers, which may be far removed from the source of the raw minerals in their products.

SI Medical Supply is not a manufacturer. It distributes hundreds of thousands of branded and “value branded” products that are manufactured by thousands of other companies located around the world.

SI Medical Supply is committed to acting in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, to supporting the objectives of the Dodd-Frank Act, to meeting its customer commitments, and to supporting its customers’ businesses.
Because of the complexity of many supply chains, especially those of distributors like SI Medical Supply, and the lack of an established system for product manufacturers to track Conflict Minerals back to their source, the joint efforts over an extended period by many governments, industry groups, and companies will be required to make it possible to effectively trace Conflict Minerals back to their source.

This document sets forth the policy of SI Medical Supply regarding Conflict Minerals.

Overview

As a responsible company, SI Medical Supply supports the goal of the Dodd-Frank Act of preventing armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries from benefitting from the sourcing of Conflict Minerals from that region.

As a distributor of hundreds of thousands of branded and “value branded” products manufactured by thousands of other companies located around the world, SI Medical Supply is invariably many levels away from the beginning of the supply chain for the products it distributes.

This Policy shows SI Medical Supply’s commitment and its expectations for the manufacturers of products SI Medical Supply distributes regarding actions to address Conflict Minerals.

OUR COMMITMENT:

Not continue to source any product that contains Conflict Minerals if SI Medical Supply determines the product is not DRC Conflict Free and the manufacturer fails to implement reasonable steps to transition to DRC Conflict Free sources.2

• 1 On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act and related 2012 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules require certain companies to disclose whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain Conflict Minerals necessary for the production or the functionality of the products that are sourced from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. Conflict Minerals are tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold.
• 2 Products are “DRC Conflict Free” if they contain only Conflict Minerals that did not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country, are from recycled or scrap sources, or have not benefitted the armed groups identified as perpetrators of the abuses that are the subject of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Commitment to Responsible Sourcing

SI Medical Supply distributes hundreds of thousands of branded and “value branded” products that are manufactured by thousands of other companies located around the world.

SI Medical Supply supports the humanitarian goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and encourages manufacturers of the products distributed by SI Medical Supply to adopt that same policy for their businesses.
As a distributor of products manufactured by other companies, SI Medical Supply does not directly purchase any raw Conflict Minerals from any source and is many levels removed from the mines, smelters, and refiners that produce the metals used in the products distributed by SI Medical Supply.

The supply chain for Conflict Minerals is complex and lacks an established structure for manufacturers to trace the minerals in the finished goods distributed by SI Medical Supply back to their source.

SI Medical Supply’s Expectations for Manufacturers

SI Medical Supply has the following expectations for the manufacturers of products.

SI Medical Supply distributes:

• Manufacturers should develop Conflict Minerals policies, due diligence frameworks, and management systems that are designed to prevent Conflict Minerals that are not DRC Conflict Free from being included in the products distributed by SI Medical Supply; and
• Manufacturers are expected to source Conflict Minerals only from sources that are DRC Conflict Free.

In doing so, manufacturers are expected to:

• implement and communicate to their personnel and suppliers policies that are consistent with this Policy, and require their direct and indirect suppliers to do the same;
• put in place procedures for the traceability of Conflict Minerals, working with their direct and indirect suppliers as applicable;
• use reasonable efforts to source Conflict Minerals from smelters and refiners validated as being DRC Conflict Free, and require their direct and indirect suppliers to do the same;
• provide information, in a timely manner, concerning whether the manufacturer has concluded or has a reasonable basis to believe that products distributed by SI Medical Supply are not DRC Conflict Free;
• maintain reviewable business records supporting the source of Conflict Minerals; and
• respond to requests for information concerning the origin of Conflict Minerals included in products distributed by SI Medical Supply, which SI Medical Supply shall be entitled to use or disclose in satisfying any legal or regulatory requirements or in any customer or marketing communications.

Manufacturers also are encouraged to support industry efforts to enhance traceability and responsible practices in Conflict Minerals supply chains.

Consequences of Manufacturer Non-Compliance

SI Medical Supply reserves the right to evaluate the extent to which a manufacturer has failed to take adequate steps to manufacture DRC Conflict Free products.
In the event SI Medical Supply determines that a manufacturer’s Conflict Minerals efforts have been deficient SI Medical Supply may discontinue distribution of the manufacturer’s products.
