1.01 | Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 |
• | Adopted a conflict minerals policy (the "policy"). The policy is available on our website at http://www.cardinalhealth.com/en/about-us/corporate-citizenship/ethics-and-governance.html. |
• | Established a conflict minerals steering committee to direct the overall conflict minerals program, including representatives from sourcing, legal, quality and regulatory, finance and internal audit. |
• | Began incorporating conflict minerals provisions in the standard terms of our Medical segment's distribution agreements for new suppliers, which require suppliers to warrant that they will, among other things, comply with our policy, work with their own suppliers to identify the source of any conflict minerals and cooperate with us in any inquiries that we make regarding conflict minerals in the suppliers' products. |
• | Published a dedicated e-mail address for reporting questions or concerns relating to our policy or conflict minerals program to a Cardinal Health representative. |
• | Became a member of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI"), a cross-industry effort to facilitate the validation of smelters and the participation of smelters in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program ("CFSP"), which offers independent third-party audits of smelters to certify that the conflict minerals they process originate from conflict-free sources. |
• | We engaged with 20 suppliers of materials that may contain conflict minerals and are included in our products by notifying the suppliers that we are subject to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and requesting that the suppliers cooperate by responding to the CFSI's Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"). |
• | We tracked supplier responses and followed up with unresponsive suppliers. |
• | We evaluated the completed CMRTs that we received from suppliers for completeness, plausibility and consistency, and followed up with suppliers to gather further information. |
• | We verified, to the best of our knowledge, whether the metal processors identified by suppliers on their CMRTs were actually smelters of conflict minerals by comparing the facilities reported by suppliers to the CFSI's smelter reference list. |
• | We reviewed data available to us as a member of CFSI to determine the country of origin of the conflict minerals processed by the verified smelters. |
• | continuing supply chain due diligence efforts and engagement with suppliers to identify sources of conflict minerals; |
• | engaging with unresponsive suppliers and suppliers that provide incomplete or uncertain information; |
• | continuing to refine our due diligence practices and framework as industry practice evolves; |
• | continuing to encourage suppliers to use certified conflict-free sources of conflict minerals; |
• | communicating our conflict minerals policy and expectations regarding the conflict minerals program to new suppliers; and |
• | continuing to develop our strategy to respond to any risks that we might identify in our conflict minerals supply chain. |
