reports are made to the audit committee of the board of directors with respect to our due diligence process and compliance obligations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have been an
active member of the Responsible Materials Initiative (RMI), formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), since 2015. Through the RMI, we participate in the Due Diligence Practices Team, which meets monthly, the Smelter Engagement
Team, which meets <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bi-weekly,</FONT> and the RMI Plenary Call, which meets monthly. In addition to our RMI membership, we host a regular call with representatives from select peer group companies to benchmark

where we are in our Rule compliance efforts. Customer inquiries are handled on a case by case basis, utilizing the conflict minerals statement or customized responses using the conflict mineral reporting template (CMRT) developed by the RMI, as
appropriate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we are an industrial equipment supplier, many of our products are not incorporated into our customers&#146; products and, therefore,

adopted on May&nbsp;6, 2014, is available on our website, <U>www.nordson.com</U>. In conjunction with the adoption of the Conflict Minerals Policy, we revised our Supplier Code of Ethics, which outlines the ethical standards with which we expect our
suppliers to comply, to reflect our expectations that our suppliers procure materials from sources that do not directly or indirectly support <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-state</FONT> armed groups. The Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier
Code of Ethics have been distributed to our suppliers. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Reasonable Country of Origin Survey Process </U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We evaluated our products and determined that certain products manufactured during calendar year 2019 were manufactured with materials or components that
contain, or likely contain, conflict minerals, i.e. tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The areas of conflict mineral usage within our supply chain were identified based on the
results of previous surveys. Future surveys will focus efforts on these areas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We identified <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> suppliers
that we believed provided materials or components containing conflict minerals. Based on commodity analysis, responses from prior years, and a focus on the highest spend suppliers, 32% of our total direct material spend was classified as <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope.</FONT> The total direct material spend attributable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> suppliers is lower than in past years due to improvements in the evaluation process to exclude <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">out-of-scope</FONT></FONT> suppliers from polling. Given the size and complexity of our supply chain, we focused on our largest suppliers, ranked by the amount that we paid to each
supplier. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We surveyed our suppliers utilizing the CMRT and our supplier portal, Nordson&#146;s Supply Chain Central (SCC). The SCC software was used by
all product lines to automate surveying our suppliers, and to collect and analyze the survey data. Suppliers were provided training materials on the SCC website regarding conflict minerals and the CMRT. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of our grievance mechanism, we rely on RMI to provide us with information regarding grievances shared among group members, and we encourage our
suppliers to send inquiries or other information concerning conflict minerals to <U>productcompliance@nordson.com</U>. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the period covered by this
Report, we prioritized collection of responses from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> suppliers representing approximately 32% of our total direct material spend. For this group of suppliers, we had about an 89% response rate. Based
on the information obtained pursuant to the reasonable country of inquiry process described above, we do not have sufficient information to determine the country of origin of all of the conflict minerals in our supply chain. We continue to work to
improve our reasonable country of origin process as described in more detail below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>OECD Step 2 &#150; Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
</U></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An escalation process was initiated with those surveyed suppliers who continued to be nonresponsive after the above contacts were made, or whose
initial (or subsequent) response was not complete or otherwise warranted clarification or confirmation. We evaluated responses from the surveyed suppliers for plausibility, consistency, and gaps both in terms of which materials or components were
stated to contain or not contain conflict minerals and the origin of such conflict minerals. We engaged certain surveyed suppliers, holding discussions and reviewing the results of their internal due diligence efforts, to ensure that our inquiries
regarding conflict minerals were understood and complied with. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>III. Due Diligence Framework </B></P>

Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>IV. Due Diligence Undertaken </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We supported audits of conflict mineral smelters and refiners conducted by third parties through our participation in the RMI. Suppliers were evaluated based
on their smelter and refiner information obtained from CMRT declarations. If supplier information indicated that they used conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic
of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (collectively, the &#147;Covered Countries&#148;), then we used the flagship program of the RMI, the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) and general public information to
determine a smelter or refiner&#146;s conflict minerals program status. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If, through our smelters lists, we discover that certain of our products contain
conflict minerals that finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, or we cannot definitively deem a product to be free of conflict minerals that finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries, we will analyze the adverse
impact of this determination pursuant to the standards set forth in our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Ethics. </P>
