and the Supplement for Gold (collectively, the &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;). Silgan&#146;s due diligence program design accordingly reflects its efforts to address the following elements of the OECD Guidance: (1)&nbsp;establishment of strong company
management systems; (2)&nbsp;identification and assessment of risk in the supply chain; (3)&nbsp;design and implementation of a strategy to respond to identified risks; (4)&nbsp;support of independent auditing programs for smelters and refiners
(collectively, &#147;facilities&#148;); and (5)&nbsp;annual reporting on Silgan&#146;s supply chain due diligence. </P>
