Overview

SNF is committed to conducting its business ethically and responsibly.

As part of this commitment, we recognize the importance of addressing the issue of conflict minerals in our supply chain. Conflict minerals refer to minerals sourced from regions associated with armed conflict, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation. Conflict minerals include metals tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which are the extracts of the minerals cassiterite, columbite-tantalite and wolframite.

POLICY STATEMENT

SNF is committed to complying with all applicable regulations and international standards regarding conflict minerals, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Conflict Minerals Rule) issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

SNF will implement a robust due diligence process to ensure that the minerals used in our products are sourced responsibly and do not contribute to environmental degradation, human rights abuses or armed conflict. This process includes:

• Supplier Engagement: We will engage with our suppliers to understand the origin of the minerals in our supply chain and encourage them to source from responsible and conflict-free sources.
• Risk Assessment: We will conduct a risk assessment of our supply chain to identify potential risks associated with conflict minerals.
• Reporting and Documentation: We will maintain records of our due diligence efforts, including supplier responses and any relevant documentation, to demonstrate our commitment to responsible sourcing.
