Michaud Machining Conflict Minerals Policy
This document contains Michaud Machining’s policy regarding the use of conflict minerals in its products.
Michaud Machining Policy Statement
Michaud Machining is committed to compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule. Michaud Machining commits to refrain from, directly or indirectly, taking or supporting any action which contributes to the financing of armed groups that are committing human rights abuses in the DRC and other covered countries.
Michaud Machining respects human rights, and commits to complying with the 2010 U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Michaud Machining has adopted this Policy as part of our efforts to encourage our suppliers to respect human rights and not contribute to conflict. Additionally, we are aggressively promoting the institution of this Policy to be in the position to provide our customers reasonable assurances that our products are conflict free if such assurances are requested.
Michaud Machining does not typically source conflict minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners, and, accordingly, in most cases, is several levels removed from these market participants. Therefore, Michaud Machining requires its suppliers to assist in the implementation of this policy.
Supplier Requirements
Michaud Machining will not tolerate any direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups through the extraction, transport, trade, handling or export of minerals. Suppliers who supply or manufacture components, parts or products containing conflict minerals are expected to source those minerals from socially and environmentally responsible sources that do not directly or indirectly contribute to conflict or human rights abuses. Michaud Machining expects its suppliers to meet the expectations set out below.
All suppliers are expected to:
• familiarize themselves with the Conflict Minerals Rule;• 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 at least to the smelter or refiner level, working with their direct and indirect suppliers as applicable;
•where possible, source conflict minerals from smelters and refiners validated as being conflict free, and require their direct and indirect suppliers to do the same;
•maintain reviewable business records for a period not less than seven (7) years supporting the source of conflict minerals; and from time to time, at Michaud Machining’s request, suppliers will provide written certifications and other information concerning the origin of conflict minerals included in products and components supplied to Michaud Machining.
If a supplier is in violation of this Policy, Michaud Machining will take prompt measures to remediate the violation.
