| We adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy / Position governing the
supply chain of Conflict Minerals. |
|
| Based on our RCOI, we have notified relevant suppliers to ensure
they are aware of our Conflict Minerals Policy and have urged our suppliers to
support this policy. |
|
| Our policy is available to our customers and suppliers from our
Website, has been provided to appropriate NVE employees, and sent to customers
and suppliers on request. |
|
| We designated an employee responsible for
Conflict Minerals Policy compliance with the authority to conduct due diligence as necessary. |
|
| We have performed due diligence on the source and chain of custody
of the Conflict Minerals that are included in our products and for which, based
on our RCOI, we have reason to believe may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining
country and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. |
|
| We have an established process to obtain information from our
suppliers concerning the origins of the metals used in the manufacture of our
products. |
|
| We require suppliers of items that may contain Conflict Minerals
to complete a EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals reporting template. |
|
| All of our suppliers of items containing Conflict Minerals have provided some or all of EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals reports, DRC conflict-free designations from a recognized industry group, independent audits of a processing facilitys supply chain, or other certifications or audits. |
| We believe that all of our raw material metals did not originate
in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources. |
|
| We believe all Conflict Minerals used by our packaging vendors
to manufacture our sensors, couplers, and peripheral integrated circuit products
did not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or
scrap sources. |
|
| We believe all materials used by printed circuit board manufacturers
and the components on those printed circuit boards did not originate in the DRC
or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources. |
|
| Some of our suppliers of foundry wafers used in some products, and some suppliers of certain components used in our evaluation boards, have reported Conflict Minerals originating in the DRC or an adjoining country, although the majority of those were from smelters or refiners determined to be compliant with the EICC-GeSI Conflict-Free Smelter Program assessment protocols. However, there are a small number of Conflict Mineral sources for which our suppliers have not provided definitive documentation of origin, representing an extremely small amount of material. The suppliers of those items have indicated they will continue their due diligence to definitively determine all of the facilities used to process Conflict Minerals. We are also seeking alternate suppliers for such foundry wafers and components. |
